I seek leave to move that government business take priority over standing order 43 until government notice No. 5 is completed.

Leave not granted.

In which case, I move:

That so much of the standing orders be suspended as would prevent the member for Sturt from moving forthwith:

That government business have priority over members’ statements for this sitting.

This simply allows us to suspend the 90-second statements until the final debate management motion is completed. Should that take about 10 or 15 minutes it will allow about 15 minutes for 90-second statements before question time.
