Mr ALBANESE (Grayndler—Leader of the House and Minister for Infrastructure and Transport) (16:04): I welcome your discussion on this matter, Mr Speaker. The Procedure Committee has indeed considered this matter and I think a trial of such a measure is an appropriate way to determine whether it is the best way to function or not. One of the historical reasons resolutions are put in that way is to enable people to stay on the same side of the chamber, thereby reducing the time of transfer. So there is a practical historical reason it has been put that way. I welcome the trial and the government supports the initiative. The government will also be responding to other measures contained in the report of the Procedure Committee after discussion with the opposition and the crossbenches. Mr Pyne interjecting— The SPEAKER: Even though he has been warned and he did make an interjection, I do indicate to the Manager of Opposition Business that this is an unfortunate conjunction of events and it does not directly relate to an event earlier this week. After yesterday, I wish that I had made this statement earlier.
