The PRESIDENT (15:07): At 2 pm, during the last division and before question time, Senator Macdonald handed in at the table a written objection to the ruling of the Deputy President that there was no point of order in relation to business of the Senate notice of motion No. 6 moved by Senator Lazarus and agreed to then by the Senate. Standing order 198 states: (1) If an objection is taken to a ruling or decision of the President, such objection must be taken at once and in writing, and a motion moved that the Senate dissent from the President’s ruling. (2) Debate on that motion shall be adjourned to the next sitting day, unless the Senate decides on motion, without debate, that the question requires immediate determination. The pressure of business right that juncture of the change from the housekeeping matters into question time, and with the Deputy President and I changing the chair, did not give opportunity for Senator Macdonald to have that matter determined. I propose that, if it is the wish of the Senate, we can determine that matter now by motion or, if Senator Macdonald wishes, that matter can be listed on the Notice Paper for the next day of business. Senator Jacinta Collins: He is not even here. The PRESIDENT: I know Senator Macdonald was advised that I was going to be giving this statement. We will just move on. Honourable senators interjecting— The PRESIDENT: Order. I think it is only fair that we give Senator Macdonald— Senator Jacinta Collins: Not after his behaviour this morning. The PRESIDENT: That is a matter for me to judge, Senator Collins. He is here now. Senator Macdonald, I am not going to go through what I just said a moment ago. If you indicate that you would like your motion of dissent to go onto the Notice Paper for the next day of sitting, that can occur. Or, if another motion is moved by any senator that it requires immediate determination, that can occur.
