I ask general business notice of motion No. 878, standing in my name today relating to the policy of US President Trump to forcibly separate families of people seeking asylum in the US be taken as a formal motion.

Sue Lines (WA, Deputy-President) | Link to this | Hansard source

Is there any objection to the motion being taken as formal?

James McGrath (Queensland, Liberal National Party, Assistant Minister to the Prime Minister) | Link to this | Hansard source

Yes.

I am sorry, Senator McKim, that has been denied.
