Senator GALLAGHER (Australian Capital Territory—Manager of Opposition Business in the Senate) (12:03): I'd like to deal with that motion now. The PRESIDENT: Yes, Senator Gallagher. Senator GALLAGHER: Pursuant to contingent notice of motion No. 3 standing in the name of Senator Wong, I move: That so much of the standing orders be suspended as would prevent general business motion No. 1160 being moved immediately and determined without amendment or debate. The PRESIDENT: I'm going to use my discretion as the chair to offer those who I don't record, who objected to that motion being taken as formal—because if we proceed this way we will end up dealing with substantially fewer motions in today's order of business than we would otherwise. An honourable senator interjecting— The PRESIDENT: That's okay, I'm happy to put it. I was offering senators that courtesy. The question is that the motion to suspend standing orders moved by Senator Gallagher be agreed to. I note that this does not require an absolute majority.
