I have received letters from the honourable member for Bruce and the honourable member for Wannon proposing that definite matters of public importance be submitted to the House for discussion today. As required by standing order 46, I have selected the matter which, in my opinion, is the most urgent and important; that is, the proposal by the honourable member for Wannon, namely:

This Government letting down Australians on every front.

I call upon those honourable members who approve of the proposed discussion to rise in their places.

More than the number of members required by the standing orders having risen in their places—

The message that we were waiting for has arrived, so, under standing order 46(e), I move:

That the business of the day be called on.

Question agreed to.
