On a point of order-----

Is the Senator raising a genuine point of order or is he merely dissatisfied with the Leader's response?

It is a point of order. Calls were made on the Order of Business for a motion of no confidence in the Minister for Health. The Leader indicated that we would have an opportunity to raise particular concerns when the Minister came to the House for a debate on a particular item of legislation. Will it be possible to table a motion of no confidence during that debate or as an amendment to the Bill?

I am not in a position to respond to the Senator's query. The Leader has given his response but the Senator may raise the matter on a future Order of Business if he so wishes.
