Senator IAN MACDONALD (Queensland) (17:21): by leave—Mr President, I do not want to deny leave but this really is not a matter that involved my party or the government. It involved me. I have not seen the statement. Whilst I respect that the Deputy President has followed the procedures of giving it to the whips, unfortunately the whips have not given it to me—and neither they should. I am not blaming the whips, because this was my motion. It is not a government motion and it is not a party motion; it is an Ian Macdonald motion. So I do not want to deny leave but I would like this matter to be dealt with in, say, 10 minutes' time so that I can just have a look at the document that is sought to be incorporated. The PRESIDENT: Can I assist in this matter? I want to make a couple of brief comments. Senator Marshall is going to hand a copy of the document over to Senator Macdonald. I will then invite you, Senator Macdonald, if you like, to make a comment on that. Senator Siewert?
