In opposing this motion, I note that such a motion was not made after the last change of government and that such a motion has not been made since 2004. When the new parliament was formed on 11 November, these questions put to the former government and the department expired. In light of the new parliament, government and machinery of government changes, senators may review and, if necessary, resubmit questions to the committee in additional estimates on 20 February as is standard practice.
