Mr Speaker has received a letter from the honourable member for Wide Bay proposing that a definite matter of public importance be submitted to the House for discussion, namely:

The failure of the Government to protect jobs in Australia’s export industries.

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 put.
