Mr Tony Burke (Watson, Australian Labor Party, Manager of Opposition Business (House)) Share this | Hansard source

Mr Speaker, on a point of order: ordinarily, if the will of the House is being determined, there is some level of consultation with the opposition. A series of events are happening this morning that are different to how procedure is ordinarily run, and I do ask how on earth the will of the House can be determined without any reference to the opposition.
