by leave—On this motion I have concerns about subparagraph (b) given that it makes specific reference to the use of a false document as a basis for questioning a witness. Given that this matter is currently the subject of an inquiry by the Auditor-General and an investigation by the Federal Police, I have some real concerns about this particular matter being referred to the Privileges Committee at this time. I seek your guidance, Mr President, as to whether I may seek leave to move an amendment to delete subparagraph (b) of this particular motion.

Leave not granted.
