I s there any objection to these motions being taken together and as formal?

Anne McEwen (SA, Australian Labor Party) Share this | Link to this | Hansard source

Yes. I note that, although we are not opposing formality of motion N o. 257, the government intends to oppose that motion.

Alan Ferguson (SA, Deputy-President) Share this | Link to this | Hansard source

I will then separate the motions. I call Senator Parry.
