The likelihood is that they will sit into the early hours of the morning. My instinct is that we should continue to sit here in the House of Representatives and review the situation in the early evening, and I have discussed this with the Manager of Opposition Business. We will probably then suspend the sittings until the ringing of the bells, which means we could either come back tonight, if the Senate does deal with the matter expeditiously, which is unlikely, or come back first thing tomorrow morning and deal with it briefly in the House of Representatives. There are different views on both sides about that matter. Most people would like to get out of the House and be on the early morning planes tomorrow, but that might just not be possible. I intend to keep the Manager of Opposition Business informed of the movements today, but most likely is that we will suspend in the early evening and then come back when the bells ring first thing tomorrow morning.
