On behalf of the Parliamentary Joint Committee on Corporations and Financial Services I present the committee's report entitled Family businesses in Australia—Different and significant: why they shouldn’t be overlooked, and I ask leave of the House to make a short statement in connection with the report.

Leave not granted.

Ordered that the report be made a parliamentary paper.

I rise on a point of order. I am just seeking some clarification and a ruling. Given that reports from committees was noted on the Notice Paper, it now seems that the opposition is not wishing to have these reports tendered to the House.

The leave is requested, and if leave is not granted, it is not granted. That is the standing orders.
