Senator DUNIAM (Tasmania—Assistant Minister for Forestry and Fisheries and Assistant Minister for Regional Tourism) (16:11): I seek leave to make a short statement. The DEPUTY PRESIDENT: Leave is granted for one minute. Senator DUNIAM: This motion is a political stunt and nothing more. As all senators know, ministers must comply with the requirements set by parliament through the registers of members' and senators' interests. All ministers are expected to conduct themselves in line with standards established in the Statement of Ministerial Standards. Minister Taylor has complied with these requirements. The DEPUTY PRESIDENT: The question is that general business notice of motion No. 132 standing in the name of Senator Waters, as amended, be agreed to.
