3:18 pm

I present the Auditor-General's Performance Audit No. 22 of 2013-14 entitled Air warfare destroyer program: Department of Defence; Defence Materiel Organisation.

Ordered that the report be made a parliamentary paper.

Mr Tony Burke

Mr Tony Burke Watson, Australian Labor Party, Shadow Minister for Finance

Madam Speaker, I draw to your attention that it has become a very common practice when you are on your feet for members to be wandering around the chamber. It was happening just then with the minister for immigration, and I simply draw it to your attention.

Mrs Bronwyn Bishop

Mrs Bronwyn Bishop Speaker

I thank the Manager of Opposition Business, and take the opportunity to remind people to pay attention to when the chair is on her feet in order that we can comply with standing orders. I am about to stand again, so the minister for immigration might move quickly.
