I ask that general business notice of motion No. 4 standing in my name for today, proposing an order for the production of documents on key assumptions underpinning mining taxation, be taken as a formal motion.

Mr Deputy President, I seek leave to make a short statement.

This is a complex matter. I suggest to Senator Cormann that he may hold it for 24 hours while we look at that, rather than have us vote ‘no’ to it at the moment.
Mathias Cormann WA, Liberal Party, Shadow Assistant Treasurer
by leave—Is that in relation to this specific motion or in relation to the two other motions that follow as well?
Alan Ferguson Deputy-President
We are dealing with only one motion, Senator Cormann.

I might facilitate activities for the Senate and seek leave to defer all three motions to tomorrow, as they are related.
Leave granted.
I move:
That general business notices of motion Nos 4, 5 and 6 standing in my name for today be postponed till the next day of sitting.
Question agreed to.
