It is not good enough to let it drift on and not to have a statement made in the House. I call on Senators to support the Labour Party's proposal that the Order of Business be amended to enable the Minister to come into the House to make a statement and take questions. That is the least we should do. There is an onus on us to do this for the public and the citizens who have been accused and been called liars in the courts. They probably made fools of the judges also. I ask the Leader to accept the amendment proposed to the Order of Business to ensure the Minister will come to the House today to take questions from Senators.It is the least the citizens of this country deserve.
