Often if a member does not say they second a motion at the start of their speech, you have a chance to draw their attention and say, 'No, you need to say that.' Before you'd done that, the Leader of the House moved that the member be no further heard. That means that if this motion is carried, and it looks like it's going to be carried, the House still has to be invited for there to be a seconder for this motion, because that question has not yet been resolved.</p> <p class="speaker">Tony Smith</p><p>The Manager of Opposition Business brought this to my attention as I—</p><p class="italic">Mr Hunt interjecting—</p><p class="italic">Ms Catherine King interjecting—</p><p>Member for Ballarat and the Minister for Health! The Manager of Opposition Business is right. The closure motion was moved quite quickly, and the member for Whitlam had not seconded the motion. In the past where I've felt that that was wilful, I've let the motion lapse. I don't believe it was wilful on this occasion. The question, really, is whether the division should be proceeded with. My view is that it shouldn't, and then we simply call the division off and I'll call for a seconder for the motion. So we'll call off the division.</p><p class="italic">Mr Burke interjecting—</p><p>Yes. If the division is called off, the member for Whitlam is still able to jump and second the motion. I hope he's been listening, because if they're not the first words that come out of his mouth, it's not going to end well. We'll call off the division, and I will ask whether the motion moved by the member for Rankin is seconded.</p> <p class="speaker">Stephen Jones</p><p>I second the motion.
