NOTICES OF MOTIONS The SPEAKER: Order! Generally in this Parliament 10 minutes has been enough time for the giving of notices of motion. It is early on in this term, but I give a word of warning that in future I may impose a word limit on motions in order to allow all members to proceed in the allotted time. I ask members to consider that. To those members who have criticised others about the length of their motions, I recall a bipartisan motion that was double the length of any other motion I have heard. The member for Fairfield will remember that. For me, it set a clear precedent. But, given the fact that the giving of notices of motions exceeded 10 minutes today and two members who wished to give notice of their motions were unable to do so, I put members on notice that I may consider imposing a word limit in future.
