The reason I moved this motion is that under the new paradigm when the new government took over—with the Greens, the Independents and the Labor Party—there was a commitment that we would be guaran­teed to get private members' bills through on  certain dates. We on this side put up private members' bills last week and were told that the bills would be allowed to pass. Unfortun­ately, the government loaded the speakers list up and prevented the bills coming on. So today I am moving a time management motion that would allow us to get the bills up as committed and promised by the govern­ment that said at the time that all private members' bills would be passed on Thursday mornings between 9.30 and 12 o'clock.
