Order of Business
The Leader outlined the day's business and Members discussed when the two Bills would be taken. Senator Humphreys suggested expediting business, but the Chair kept the House on order while the initial scheduling exchange continued.
The Order of Business is No. 1, Greyhound Racing Bill 2018 - Committee Stage (resumed), to be taken at 12.45 p.m.; No. 2, Judicial Appointments Commission Bill 2017 - Committee Stage (resumed), to be taken at the conclusion of No. 1 and adjourned at 5 p.m., if not previously concluded.

If it is concluded, will we take some other business?

After more than 41 hours of debate I would certainly love to see if we could conclude the debate on Committee Stage and have the Bill passed and move on to something else. That would be a wonderful gift. It is in the Senator's hands.

As the Senator knows, we are in a minority.

It is also in the hands of Senators Humphreys and Bacik. In a spirit of good will-----

I dare say it is also in the hands of Senator McDowell.

Perhaps the Leader might endeavour to have it finished by Christmas.
