Speaker, in light of the question raised by the Manager of Opposition Business relating to the House resolution on government responses to committee reports, I draw your attention to the fact that the report of the inquiry into online gambling and its impacts on those experiencing gambling harm, called You win some, you lose morealso known as the Murphy report—was handed down two years and five months ago. In fact, it was more than two years and five months ago now. This means it's more than two years past the time in which the Minister for Communications should have presented the government's response to this report under part (1) of the House resolution or a signed statement of reasons for the delay under part (2)(a) of the resolution. So, Speaker, I ask that you draw the minister's attention to this matter and remind the minister of the requirement to comply with all resolutions of the House.

I refer to my earlier remarks. In light of the fact that the minister is sitting here in the chamber and you've raised that issue, that matter is now ceased.
