I have received a letter from the honourable member for Wentworth proposing that a definite matter of public importance be submitted to the House for discussion, namely:

The Government’s failure to address cost of living and other economic pressures faced by Australians and the consequent collapse in consumer and business confidence.

I call upon those members who approve of the proposed discussion to rise in their places.

More than the number of members required by the standing orders having risen in their places—

I move:

That the business of the day be called on.

Question agreed to.
