Mr Deputy Speaker, I seek leave to move:
That so much of the standing and sessional orders be suspended as would prevent the House:
(1) debating immediately whether Australian forces should be deployed to Iraq; and
(2) defer all other business before the House until the conclusion of the debate.
Michael Keenan Stirling, Liberal Party, Minister for Justice
No. Given that the Prime Minister will be making a statement on this to the House later on today, leave is not granted.
Leave not granted.
