The government will be opposing this motion. I just remind Senator Faruqi that there is the Parliamentary Budget Office, which was established to inform the parliament by providing independent, non-partisan analysis of budget cycle fiscal policy and financial implications of proposals, and that that could be used to provide the information she seeks.

The question is that general business notice of motion No. 113 standing in the name of Senator Faruqi be agreed to.

Senator Pocock, once the vote has started, once I've appointed tellers, no senator is to move.
