The Manager of Opposition Business will resume his place. It would assist in future if the Deputy Leader of the Opposition comes straight to that she is seeking leave to table a document. I take the point that the Manager of Opposition Business has made—that the electronic version is permissible as something that can be tabled—but I ask that in future the person approaching the dispatch box for the purpose of tabling a document indicate that straight up. Otherwise, on a testy day such as the one so far, you will understand that the chair will assume that things are not as they appear. Having said that, I withdraw the standing order 94(a) ruling, but I inform people that there is a general warning.
