I ask that government business notice of motion No. 1, standing in Senator Ruston's name for today, be taken as a formal motion.

Is there any objection to this motion being taken as formal? Senator Roberts?

Just a point of clarification, please. I seek leave to split the government's motion after question time because, while the Greens were consulted, One Nation was not consulted on that reduction of time, and we feel it's important to have adequate time.

I'm afraid, Senator Roberts, the Senate has adopted that resolution. I can't re-put the question. So the order of business as adopted by the Senate immediately after question time is to move to government business notice of motion No. 1 without debate, which is the business around the Senate's debate of disallowance motions. So I have got to ask: is there any objection to the motion being taken as formal? There being none, Senator Duniam.

I'm now required to, of course, put that without amendment or debate, pursuant to the order adopted. So I put that motion moved by Senator Duniam, government business notice of motion No. 1.

Question agreed to.
