The DEPUTY PRESIDENT —I inform the Senate that the President has received the following letter from Senator Stott Despoja:

Dear Madam President

Pursuant to standing order number 75, I give notice that today I propose to move:

That in the opinion of the Senate, the following is a matter of urgency:

The failure of the government to introduce legislation amending the Privacy Act 1988 to extend the operation of the Privacy Act 1988 to all sectors of the Australian community.

Yours sincerely

Natasha Stott Despoja

Is the proposal supported?

More than the number of senators required by the Standing Orders having risen in their places—

The DEPUTY PRESIDENT —I understand that informal arrangements have been made to allocate specific times to each of the speakers in today's debate. With the concurrence of the Senate, I shall ask the clerks to set the clock accordingly.
