I understand what we are doing now and that these recommendations must be decided on at 11.30 a.m. What happens if someone wants to raise a point on a section that is not included in a recommendation?

He or she will not be able to do it.

I think we should reorder our business.

If we move from what has been agreed between the leaders and Whips, there will be a knock-on effect.

I accept that. I am not suggesting a knock-on effect, rather that this section could flow into the next, continuing until 12.30.

Wise counsel.

I am not suggesting extending business at all.

At 11.30 a.m. I am obliged to put the question on sections 1 to 41, inclusive.

I have discussed this with Senator Fitzgerald, the leader of the main Opposition party, and if some sections require more time than others, within the time indicated and agreed yesterday, in an effort to facilitate those who wish to make their views known on this important section, I propose to extend the time as required by the Opposition.

I must chair the sitting in accordance with the ordered business and that I intend to do unless the order is changed. What is the exact position at 11.30 a.m.? I said that points could be made briefly on the recommendation without Second Stage speeches. That accommodates everyone.

I suggest the Leader propose a change to the Order of Business whereby the business that was supposed to be concluded at 11.30 a.m. be allowed to continue through the next section in order that all discussion is encompassed at 12.30 p.m. The only change would be that we do not finish this part of the Bill at 11.30 a.m. but we will still finish at 12.30 p.m. as intended.

So the guillotine is being moved back from 11.30 a.m. and both Parts will be guillotined at 12.30 p.m.?

All the recommendations relate to the first session.

Four more Senators wish to contribute on this and I will then call on the Minister to reply. Is that agreed?

I am proposing that.

Debate on sections 1 to 54, inclusive, will conclude at 12.30 p.m. Is that agreed? Agreed.
