I move:

That further statements on indulgence in relation to the death of Duncan Pegg be permitted in the Federation Chamber.

I want to acknowledge the initiation of the Acting Prime Minister, in bringing this discussion on, a fine contribution and matched by the contribution of the member for Rankin. That was a fine moment in this parliament's history and reflected on a fine man who left us way too early.

Before I call the Leader of the Opposition, as I said, it's a very different set of circumstances and that is why it has occurred at the end of question time. I would like the Leader of the Opposition just to have a brief indulgence on the matter.

I thank the Leader of the House for the motion that he has moved which will allow for other contributions on the condolence for Duncan Pegg. I thank the Acting Prime Minister, who reached out and showed a generosity of spirit in doing so. What we have been left with is one of parliament's finest moments in two great contributions worthy of Duncan Pegg by the Acting Prime Minister and by the shadow Treasurer.

Question agreed to.
