I move:

That the resumption of debate on the Deputy Prime Minister’s motion of condolence in connection with the Victorian bushfires be referred to the Main Committee.

I will speak briefly to that for the information of the House. When members such as the member for McEwen and any others with electorates directly affected wish to speak, the government, certainly I as Leader of the House, in conjunction with the Manager of Opposition Business, will put in place the appropriate procedural resolutions so that, if they wish, they will be able to do so in this main chamber.

Question agreed to.
