Christopher Pyne (Sturt, Liberal Party, Leader of the House) Share this | Hansard source

Mr Speaker, I rise on a point of order. The member for Grayndler should know that, if he wishes to take advantage of what is usually a routine matter, he will need to spend the entire period of his 10 minutes explaining why this question should be put to the parliament about making these reports parliamentary papers as opposed to any other kind of paper. If he had perhaps given me notice of this I might have made an arrangement for him to be able to talk on this matter with his shadow counterpart, but he has not. He does need to make it very clear why, technically, these reports should be parliamentary papers under the standing orders and what that means, as opposed to dealing with the substance of the reports.
