Ross Jami-LeeBUSINESS OF THE HOUSEJAMI-LEE ROSS (Senior Whip—National): In light of a decision taken by the House under Government notice of motion—Madam DEPUTY SPEAKER: Sorry is this a point of order?JAMI-LEE ROSS: Yes it is. In light of the decision taken under Government notice of motion No. 4 today to reinstate business I move that the Kermadec Ocean Sanctuary Bill be now read a second time.This is a good opportunity for the House to be debating while we still have time left a motion that is able to be debated because there is time left and nothing left on the Order Paper. This is a good opportunity for the House to debate a bill that is important for the environment—Madam DEPUTY SPEAKER: The member will sit please. Is this a point of order? Points of order should be short sharp and to the point. They are not opportunities to speak. I think the member has forgotten that we are actually in urgency. The motion has not been lifted and therefore we cannot debate anything other than what was contained in the urgency motion.JAMI-LEE ROSS (Senior Whip): I raise a point of order Madam Speaker. The business under urgency has been completed. There is time left on the clock until 10 o'clock. The business has been reinstated. I have the ability to move this motion and I have so moved it. So Madam Deputy Speaker I will continue my call—Madam DEPUTY SPEAKER: No. No I'll speak to your point of order. The business has not been completed and the only business that can be debated under the urgency motion is the business before the House which does not include any other bill. I have ruled. Do you have a further point of order?Jami-Lee Ross: Yes Madam Deputy Speaker.Madam DEPUTY SPEAKER: I hope it's a different point of order.JAMI-LEE ROSS (Senior Whip—National): I raise a point of order Madam Speaker my point of order is to seek clarification because the business has been completed because the Clerk read out the second reading; therefore the business under urgency has been completed.Madam DEPUTY SPEAKER: Unfortunately for you the urgency has not been lifted. We are still in urgency all right? I will just take some advice. I'm new to this. [Pause in proceedings] Having taken advice the member can seek leave because the urgency was for the second reading; the second reading has been completed. So the member can seek leave—and I'm happy to put the leave—but the member cannot launch forth into the debate. So are you seeking leave to move that that bill be debated?JAMI-LEE ROSS (Senior Whip—National): Madam Deputy Speaker there is time on the clock—Madam DEPUTY SPEAKER: No. Answer my question please. Are you seeking leave? If you are then do so. Otherwise sit down and the business of the House will continue.JAMI-LEE ROSS (Senior Whip—National): I raise a point of order Madam Speaker. My submission to you is that there is time on the clock. There was nothing—Madam DEPUTY SPEAKER: I have actually ruled that you are free to seek leave because there is no other business on the table for this House at the conclusion of the urgency. So if you wish you may seek leave to debate the bill that you are proposing. I am offering you the opportunity to do that. I'll put the leave and it's in the House's hands.JAMI-LEE ROSS (Senior Whip—National): I raise a point of order Madam Speaker.Madam DEPUTY SPEAKER: Are you refusing to seek leave?JAMI-LEE ROSS (Senior Whip—National): No I'm seeking your clarification. My submission to you is that I do not have to seek leave because there was time on the clock and no business available. I was therefore able to move a motion and I have moved that motion. I now wish to speak—Madam DEPUTY SPEAKER: I am now ruling that you do have to seek leave. There is no business on the Table and you may seek leave for that bill to be debated.JAMI-LEE ROSS (Senior Whip—National): I raise a point of order Madam Speaker.Madam DEPUTY SPEAKER: If this is the same point of order—Jami-Lee Ross: I'll seek leave—I'll seek leave.Madam DEPUTY SPEAKER: You will seek leave?JAMI-LEE ROSS (Senior Whip—National): I seek leave for the Kermadec Ocean Sanctuary Bill to be now debated. I wish to move the second reading.Madam DEPUTY SPEAKER: I'll put that leave to debate that bill. All those in favour say aye—[Interruption] There is objection. Is there objection? The Government has indicated it does not wish to continue with urgency and therefore the debate is set down for resumption next sitting day.The House adjourned at 9.57 p.m.
