Senator PATRICK (South Australia) (17:06): I seek leave to amend general business notice of motion 1043, standing in my name Leave granted. The DEPUTY PRESIDENT: Is there any objection to this motion being taken as formal? A government senator: Yes. The DEPUTY PRESIDENT: There is an objection. Senator Patrick: Pursuant to contingent notice, I move: That so much of the standing orders be suspended as would prevent Senator Patrick moving a motion relating to the conduct of the business of this Senate, namely a motion to give precedence to general business notice of motion No. 1043 immediately, determined without amendment or debate. The DEPUTY PRESIDENT: The question is that the motion to suspend standing orders be agreed to.
