Senator DUNIAM (Tasmania—Assistant Minister for Forestry and Fisheries and Assistant Minister for Industry Development) (11:54): I ask that government business notice of motion No. 3, proposing amendments to the standing orders, be taken as formal. The PRESIDENT: Is there any objection to the motion being taken as formal? An honourable senator: Yes. Senator DUNIAM: At the request of Senator Birmingham and pursuant to contingent notice, I move: That so much of standing orders be suspended as would prevent the motion being moved immediately and determined without amendment or debate and ask that the question be put. The PRESIDENT: The question is that the motion to suspend the standing orders be agreed to.
