Mr BEAZLEY —My question relates to an Aboriginal matter before this Parliament today, as opposed to the one which is still coming with regard to Wik. That is, I refer back to the question I asked the Prime Minister earlier and that he did not answer.

Mr SPEAKER —To whom are you addressing your question?

Mr BEAZLEY —The Prime Minister. Given that the Prime Minister has now had half an hour or so to consider the matter and has discussed it with his Leader of the House, will he now undertake that this afternoon we have an opportunity to debate in this chamber Senator Herron's response to the Bringing them home report?

Mr HOWARD —My reply to the Leader of the Opposition is that the order of business that has been laid down will be adhered to.
