Senator GALLAGHER (Australian Capital Territory—Manager of Opposition Business in the Senate) (11:47): I seek leave to make a short statement. The PRESIDENT: Leave is granted. Senator GALLAGHER: The opposition would just like to say that we support the statement made by the minister just before. I would add that for some time we have had concerns that this part of the program is being used to move motions which warranted further debate where— The PRESIDENT: Sorry, people can't hear. Can we just make sure Senator Gallagher's microphone is on. Senator GALLAGHER: I was just saying that we support the statement just made by the Leader of the Government in the Senate. We have had concerns for some time that this part of the program was being used to move motions that contained content that warranted further debate and that couldn't be dealt with as a yes/no situation. It was being used to wedge political opponents in a way that didn't allow for fulsome debate. We believe that this part of the program needs to be reformed because of the way this part of the program is being used by senators.
