Before proceeding to the final stages, I will add my condolences to the family of the late Jocelyn Newman. I served with her in this place when I first came here. She was a wonderful Minister for Social Security and Minister for Family and Community Services and a great representative of the state of Tasmania in this place, and I add my condolences to those of others to her children, Campbell and Kate.

I understand it is the wish of the House to consider the matter immediately. The question is that the motion moved by the Hon. the Prime Minister be agreed to.

Question agreed to.
