Senator COLBECK (Tasmania—Minister for Tourism and International Education and Minister Assisting the Minister for Trade and Investment) (09:31): I seek leave to make a short statement relating to Senator Ludlam's request yesterday for a response to questions on notice relating to the Perth Freight Link. Leave granted. Senator COLBECK: I now understand that Senator Ludlam has requested information on the Perth Freight Link via several means, and the information provided to the Clerk on 23 November 2015 was in fact a response to an order for the production of documents on the Perth Freight Link and not a response to the questions on notice being referred to by Senator Ludlam. I apologise to Senator Ludlam and the chamber for the error. In relation to questions on notice 2630, 2631 and 2632 from November 2015, I have requested the office of the Deputy Prime Minister action the responses as quickly as possible. Once these are made available to me, I will present them to the chamber. Senator Moore: Mr President, I am just checking to see whether we had any advice that the statement that the minister just made was going to be made in the chamber at this time. The PRESIDENT: The minister did seek leave to make a statement. Senator Moore: Prior to the seeking of leave, it is actually standard practice to give some advice about when these things are going to occur in the chamber. I am just checking. It may well have come to someone else, but it did not come to me. I was unaware that the minister would be making that statement this morning. The PRESIDENT: It is not really a matter for me to adjudicate. Senator Moore: I am just seeking clarification. The PRESIDENT: In this case, it was not a regular ministerial statement. It was a clarification of an issue that arose yesterday. I have seen it in a different light. However, if the minister wants to make any remarks in relation to that, he may.
