Mr PORTER (Pearce—Attorney-General, Minister for Industrial Relations and Leader of the House) (18:29): I think the Manager of Opposition Business is right. He asked: 'Who requested this?' Well, if he had specified 'this postponement' or 'this bringing on of the bill'— Opposition members interjecting— The SPEAKER: I just caution members on my left, particularly the member for Ballarat. Mr PORTER: He could have easily done that and saved the confusion. But the postponement is being requested by the minister for communications, and the intervening bill is being requested by the Assistant Treasurer. The SPEAKER: Before I call the minister for communications, I'm going to make two points. I allowed the Manager of Opposition Business to essentially ask a question of the assistant minister which has led us down this alleyway that we're going to need to reverse out of. It is the established convention that ministers act on behalf of other ministers. That is the established convention and that goes back a long way. Given where we are now, we can look at the technicalities, but all that really matters is that what's being moved is really being moved on behalf of, and with the consent of, the minister concerned. Given he's here, I'm prepared to hear from him. The minister for communications.
