I do not propose to take much of the Senate’s time at all but I do feel compelled to respond to Senator Abetz’s suggestion that standing order 72(1) would have no application because there was nothing in the Notice Paper that it might refer to. I simply suggest that if you look at the Notice Paper, for example, one might have asked Senator Barnett a question about his notice of motion that appears on page 18, a matter which he clearly has control of in accordance with that standing order, or Senator Wortley about a notice of motion on page 19.
