On the point of order, Mr President, what I indicated to you was that the Labor government would have accepted the tabling if the normal courtesies had been shown. If the senator shows it to the Government Whip and if it is what he claims it to be and it is in order, we will allow him permission to table it. He is well aware of the courtesies involved in these matters. I always try and facilitate senators tabling if possible. As long as the normal courtesies are applied, then that matter should be easily resolved.
