The scope of some of the OPDs include 1.8 million documents, and they have to be delivered to this chamber within eight days. I mean, come on. This chamber needs a serious discussion about how it's going to operate. It looks like those opposite are prepared to rip up any pathway to resolution on this, but I would urge everyone in this chamber—the government is up for it—to talk through how we will make this chamber work. In the history of this chamber for its proud 124 years, that is the way it has worked.

We do not support the suspension. We have the order of the call. I'm not sure if we're going to get to question 15. We are prepared to work across the parliament to resolve the order of the call going forward.
