Penny Wong (SA, Australian Labor Party, Leader of the Opposition in the Senate) Share this | Hansard source

I would ask the President to consider, after looking at the Hansard, the standing order—I think it is 168—dealing with the tabling of documents in light of the minister's answer. I just ask that you reflect upon that.

The PRESIDENT: I can probably deal with that now. That standing order refers to document that were quoted from. I do not believe the minister was quoting from a document.

An opposition senator: He did.

The PRESIDENT: Let me investigate, and I am happy to report back to you if I need to do that.
