Mr Speaker, I have consulted with the Manager of Opposition Business. It might suit the House to receive the message from the Senate on the condensate legislation now. For the benefit of members, because it is a request from the Senate it has to be received here, then go back to the Senate and come back here. So the earlier we deal with it the shorter the sitting will be, which might suit the convenience of the House.

I understand that it would suit the convenience of the House if we took that course of action.
