I thank members for their contributions. I note that the motion before the House is in relation to suspension of standing orders. The matter in terms of the motion that was moved in the Senate will be considered by the House when the parliament resumes next week. It was my understanding when I came in here today that that was precisely what was going to occur. What I understood was that today the opposition had cancelled the matter of public importance. As they didn't wish to use the time for the matter of public importance, the government decided to make that time available for question time.

Let me be very clear about the issue of a royal commission into the issue of those with disability abuse.
