BUSINESS

Mr TEHAN (Wannon—Manager of Opposition Business) (09:33): on indulgence—This is obviously an issue between the teals and the government. There's obviously been some disagreement about how the House should be managed. Our hope is that the teals and the government will be able to work it out and that this issue won't further delay all the bills.

The SPEAKER: For the purposes of this debate—I know how the manager is very consistent on correct titles in the House, as we indicated last week during question time. I know he is particular about that, so if we could perhaps just— An opposition member interjecting— The SPEAKER: Order! We'll just refer to people by their titles or members in the House.

I think it'll be a lot easier for the debate. Mr TEHAN: The crossbench and the government. Our hope is that this won't delay the House any further, that they'll be able to work it out and then we'll be able to move on with the business of the House.
