Is there any objection to this motion being taken as formal?
An honourable senator: Yes.
There is an objection.
Mitch Fifield Victoria, Liberal Party, Manager of Opposition Business in the Senate
by leave—Given that motion No. 367, relating to the attendance of the president of Fair Work Australia, seeks to change a motion of the Senate the opposition believes that this is a matter that should be the subject of debate and discussion in this place before such a change is made.
Gavin Marshall Victoria, Australian Labor Party
by leave—My statement is in the form of a question. I ask the opposition when they intend to facilitate such a debate so that the Senate can vote on this motion and the will of the Senate can be determined.
