The Order of Business is No. 1, Housing (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2008 — Second Stage (resumed), to be taken on the conclusion of the Order of Business and to adjourn not later than 2 p.m., if not previously concluded, with spokespersons having 15 minutes, all other Senators ten minutes, and on which Senators may share time by agreement of the House; No. 3, Harbours (Amendment) Bill 2008 — Order for Second Stage and Second Stage, to be taken on the conclusion of No. 1, with spokespersons having 12 minutes, all other Senators ten minutes, and on which Senators may share time by agreement of the House; and No. 23, motion 21 re investment in education, to be taken at the conclusion of No. 3. The business of the House will be interrupted from 2 p.m. to 2.30 p.m.

Colleagues will note there is a change in the Order of Business. I propose to take the Harbours (Amendment) Bill in place of the statements on banking. We expect the regulations when the Government has concluded its deliberations. I will inform the House accordingly as we proceed day by day.
