I thank the member for Fraser. I think he would be aware that those who spoke in the chamber yesterday on the condolence motion for Mr Farley were speaking on indulgence. The indulgence was today extended to those who wished to speak in the Main Committee. I do not believe there is any precedent. If the member for Fraser were to look to the House of Representatives Practice, he would see that there is quite a big section on condolence motions. I do not think that we have done anything that has not been past practice.
