I move:

That the report be made a parliamentary paper.

I move an amendment to the proposition of the Leader of the House and that the report be referred to the Federation Chamber for debate.

We have not had a discussion about this.

I did not know it was about to happen.

Mr Speaker, can I withdraw that motion and have a discussion with the member, by indulgence?

By indulgence, the Leader of the House.

I might withdraw the motion and discuss it with the former Leader of the House and see if we can come to some arrangement. I have no particular reason not to refer it, but I am also unaware of the circumstances that surround it.
