Just for clarity, what the motion has in effect done is that the order of continuing effect in the standing orders, No. 26, will be repealed and take effect from 28 November this year. By way of the media rules governing the media rules in the entire parliament, which the Speaker and I have joint responsibility for, rule No. 5.7 will be amended. In fact, it will be deleted because that also reflects what is in the Senate standing orders of continuing effect, which will then put the Senate in complete alignment with the House of Representatives for media rules. I want to make sure that is the effect of the motion, because your particular motion was not specific. Unless I hear anything to the contrary, that is the effect that will take place on 28 November.
