On the motion before the House, I make the same point as I made at the end of the last sitting. It is the point about the backlog of private members' votes. I note they are not on the order of business for today. There are at least 13 votes that have been pending for some time now. They have been recommended by the House of Representatives Selection Committee. Each time they have missed their spot until now. It has been understandable but I would hope on behalf of all members in this chamber that a priority of business for this week is that those private members' votes get dealt with.

Question agreed to.
