Senator PATRICK (South Australia) (11:38): I seek leave to make a short statement. The PRESIDENT: Leave is granted for one minute. Senator PATRICK: Just in response to Senator Duniam, the decision to prosecute is an executive decision. It is not a matter that is before the court and as such it is quite appropriate to debate whether or not it is in the public interest to prosecute. We're not dealing with any of the issues that are before the court. The PRESIDENT: The question is that motion No. 1215, in the name of Senator Gallagher, be agreed to.
