by leave—Just so there is absolutely no doubt and for the information of other senators listening to the proceedings, I have circulated a note on my side about what is going to happen for the remainder of the day by agreement with the government and the Greens. We will be completing the non-controversial list of legislation, then moving to the appropriation bills, then to the child care bill and then to the orders of the day as listed on the red, as they would ordinarily have commenced at 9.30, picking up everything that we have not so far covered. I seek verbal agreement in the chamber from the Manager of Government Business so that we are all clear as to where we are going. I also ask that we receive a fresh list of where the last items of non-controversial legislation will appear so that we are all working from the same sheet and so that our shadow ministers can be ready and available to meet those requirements.
