    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I stand under Standing Order No.133; procedure in the Committee of the whole House on a Bill. Section 5 of the same Standing Order says - this is what my good friend, hon. Tonui, has failed to appreciate. What he has basically done is that through this amendment, he has rewritten and rearranged the whole Bill in a way that fits his own imagination. Our Standing Orders completely prohibit it and for this House to debate an issue that we know outright, as far as our Standing Orders are concerned, is an illegality is not proper. That is what the Standing Order says and I want hon. Tonui to bear with me. I also want the Leader of Majority Party to listen because, if you look at all the amendments on Clause 2, the New Clause 2A, Clause 3 and New Clause 3, what he has attempted to do is to rewrite the whole Bill and configure it in the way that he understands it. That is illegal. This is the reason pursuant to Standing Order No.133(5):- “No amendment shall be permitted to be moved if the amendment deals with a different subject or proposes to unreasonably or unduly expand the subject of the Bill, or is not appropriate or is not in logical sequence to the subject matter of the Bill.” So, all the amendments by hon. Tonui completely negate the Standing Orders and I want to believe that they should be removed. He should withdraw them with a lot of humility."
