Mr Acting Deputy President, I seek leave to give notice of a motion.
Christopher Back WA, Liberal Party
Could you explain the nature of it before I request whether leave is granted, Senator Bob Brown?
Bob Brown Tasmania, Australian Greens
Yes. It is a notice of motion for consideration on Thursday by the Senate.
Bob Brown Tasmania, Australian Greens
The subject matter is related to the findings of the Committee of Privileges.
Christopher Back WA, Liberal Party
Could you explain that matter, Senator Bob Brown?

I note that leave was not granted by the coalition. I seek leave to circulate an amendment to the bills before the Senate before 6.15 pm.
Mathias Cormann WA, Liberal Party, Shadow Assistant Treasurer

The coalition is not aware of the various matters that Senator Bob Brown is giving notices of motion about. In those circumstances, we are not in a position to make a decision to grant leave.
Leave not granted.
Christopher Back WA, Liberal Party
Thank you, Senator Cormann. We are in the middle of a debate on the motion moved by Senator Fisher. I will call on Senator Marshall.
