A letter has been received from Senator Babet:

Pursuant to standing order 75, I propose that the following matter of public importance be submitted to the Senate for discussion:

Australia must urgently move towards modern nuclear technology as a means of alleviating our energy crisis.

Is the proposal supported?

More than the num ber of senators required by the standing orders having risen in their places—

I understand that informal arrangements have been made to allocate specific times to each of the speakers in today's debate. With the concurrence of the Senate, I shall ask the clerks to set the clock accordingly.
