by leave—I have instructions to support a motion with certain amendments, and I am not sure if you are moving that motion. I have not seen it circulated; perhaps it is under the papers on my desk. Could we postpone this until we find out?

That general business notice of motion no. 119 standing in the names of Senators Ellison, Murray and Sandy Macdonald for today, relating to Zimbabwe, be postponed till the next day of sitting.
