I move:

That so much of the standing and sessional orders be suspended as would prevent the member for Wentworth’s private members’ business notice relating to the disallowance of the Public Works Committee Amendment Regulations 2010 (No. 1), as contained in Select Legislative Instrument 2010 No. 173 and made under the Public Works Committee Act 1969, being called on immediately.

I do not intend to speak at length to this suspension motion. This will facilitate the member for Wentworth moving his motion and then I will respond with the reasons why the government will not support his motion—because we believe it is just another tactic to delay the National Broadband Network rollout.

Question agreed to.
