Order! Can senators come to order so that we can deal with this matter efficiently? Last time when this approach was adopted it was agreed between the parties that the Attorney-General would be called upon by the President. I have done that. I called upon the Attorney-General, and now there seems to be some confusion as to the practice. If a senator wishes to stand and move a motion in relation to this, we can do it that way or I can simply call the Attorney-General.

Senator Brandis interjecting—

Correct. Senator Pratt, do you wish to move a motion?
