Mr Tony Burke (Watson, Australian Labor Party, Shadow Minister for Finance) Share this | Hansard source

Under standing order 67, immediately after this motion—which I presume will be carried—that the question be put, I will not have the opportunity to ask for the primary question to be restated. The House has the problem that the minister never told the House what he was moving and never gave a reason as to why anyone would vote for it. The opposition have had a series of speeches explaining why we think it should be agreed to, but, given that the question has never actually been explained to the House, I wonder if there is a point in time, given that the minister did not, when you might make it clear to the House what it is voting on.
