House debates Matters of Public Importance
Global Financial Crisis
Ms Anna Burke Deputy-Speaker
Mr Speaker has 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 put in place a coherent strategy to deal with the impacts of the global financial crisis.
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—
Gary Gray Brand, Australian Labor Party, Parliamentary Secretary for Regional Development and Northern Australia
4:20 pm
I move:
That the business of the day be called on.
Question put.
