Family Law Amendment Bill 2023, Family Law Amendment (Information Sharing) Bill 2023; Second Reading

7:16 pm

The Act Ing Deputy President:

Let me take advice from the clerk in case that changes who I should have called at that time. If you could just give me a moment.

In accordance with the practice of the chamber, we have already moved on to another item. To deal with your question, I will refer it to the President. I've already indicated that. But, just to be clear, my decision was that you did not jump and seek the call. Minister Ayres sought the call, I gave it to him and the question was put. We followed the standing orders in accordance with what I understood to be the proper order and I have taken advice from the Clerk. So I won't take your point of order on a matter which we have already moved on from and I will look forward with interest myself to the President's ruling tomorrow on this particular matter. Senator Scarr?
