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.

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.
