Madam Deputy Speaker, on a point of order. I refer you to page 505 of House of Representatives Practice, which states:

The convention is that, subject to the right of the House to legislate on any matter, matters awaiting adjudication in a court of law should not be brought forward in debate, motions or questions.

As this matter is before the Federal Court it is not in order.
