I do not want to create an undue difficulty, but I do think that it would be appropriate that a determination of my point of order, as to whether this is legislation that is competent for the House of Representatives to debate, be dealt with before we proceed to the further debate of this legislation. On that basis, I move:

That the debate be adjourned.

But I do think it would be appropriate for there to be a ruling from the Speaker prior to the commencement of further debate on this legislation.

Question agreed to.
