The SPEAKER (12:35): I wish to advise the house that I have received a message from the Legislative Council proposing that the Council meets with the Legislative Assembly for the purpose of sitting and voting together to choose a person to hold the seat in the Legislative Council rendered vacant by the resignation of Mr David Limbrick and that the place and time of such meeting be the Legislative Assembly chamber on Wednesday, 22 June 2022, at 6.15 pm.

Ordered that message be taken into consideration immediately.

Ms ALLAN (Bendigo East—Leader of the House, Minister for Transport Infrastructure, Minister for the Suburban Rail Loop) (12:36): I move:
