I was just conferring with the Clerk on exactly the same matter. It is on the Notice Paper. Thank you, Senator Moore, for raising that. It is important that we clarify these matters. The rule is that the minister can address that matter providing he does not anticipate debate in relation to the bill that is on the Notice Paper. I will be listening to the minister's answer. At this stage he has not gone long enough for me to make that determination.
