I thank the Manager of Opposition Business and note the comments that she has raised. I will say two things. First of all, there was not a ruling, as she referred to it. I think it was an explanation, if she looks carefully at the current House of Representatives Practice. On all these matters it is up to the chair to make a decision. That is precisely the course that I have followed and that is precisely the course I will continue to follow.
