I seek leave to amend my motion by deleting paragraphs (a) and (c).

Leave granted.

I move:

That the following matters be referred to the Committee of Privileges:

(b)

Whether there was a manipulation of the evidence given before the Standing Committee on Economics at its hearing on 22 October 2008 in relation to any scripting of questions asked in evidence before that committee and, if so, whether any contempt of the Senate was committed in that regard;

In moving that, I make it absolutely clear that there was some indication from Senator Evans that linking the Senator Conroy laptop affair with the Grech affair was a concern for him.
