MOTIONS › Noble, Mr Marlon, United Nations Committee on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities
Senator SIEWERT (Western Australia—Australian Greens Whip) (12:24): I seek leave to make an extremely short statement. The DEPUTY PRESIDENT: Leave is granted for one minute. Senator SIEWERT: I won't take even that. My point is that the Labor Party asked me to defer this so they could consider it. I take offence at the suggestion that I have not given them enough time, when I did what they asked and deferred the motion. I want to put that on record. Question negatived.
