Senator Hanson-Young, that motion will fall to debate at item 20 later today. Unless you had an alternative? No? Okay. I understand that it will be similar to the matter in Business of the Senate motion No. 2, which Senator McKim does not want dealt with as formal business, so I will move to the discovery of formal business and do my best to accommodate the needs of senators.
