I move:

That the business of the day be called on.

I will speak briefly so that members can be informed about what has been agreed. It is intended to have a brief debate on the return of the Medicare levy surcharge legislation from the Senate. It is then intended that once that is dealt with there will be a division. Someone will move to suspend so much of standing orders as would prevent the resumption of the debate so that, rather than have the adjournment, we can have additional time. The member for Riverina has informed me that she intends to table a petition. I will grant leave if she seeks to do that at this time.

Question agreed to.
