I suggest that the Deputy President, Senator Hogg, be empowered to act as President during my absence, pursuant to standing order 13.

(1)   That, during the absence of the President, the Deputy President shall, on each sitting day, take the chair of the Senate and may, during such absence, perform the duties and exercise the authority of the President in relation to all proceedings of the Senate and proceedings of committees to which the President is appointed.

(2)   That the President be granted leave of absence from 5 September to 8 September 2005.
