by leave—I place on record the coalition’s views on this notice of motion. Like the government, we believe that complex foreign affairs matters should not be the subject of a brief notice of motion in this chamber. They need full and thorough analysis, and consideration needs to be given on many fronts in relation to this. In that regard, we support the comments of the government. I also note that our leader, Mr Malcolm Turnbull, made similar comments on the same occasion in the other chamber just after the Prime Minister.
