I believe I can now seek leave to present the documents I referred to earlier with regard to Mount Whaleback Mine. I again seek leave to present the documents.

Leave granted.

Just to clarify this, I refer to page 589 of House of Representatives Practice, which says that there is no requirement for the documents to be provided to the other person but it is normal practice. I will read it to explain. It states:

It is expected that a Member or Minister seeking leave to present a document will first show it to the Minister at the Table or to the Member leading for the Opposition, as the case may be, and leave may be refused if this courtesy is not complied with.

I intend to extend the adjournment time by a few minutes to allow everyone to have their full five minutes.
