The DEPUTY PRESIDENT —I inform the Senate that, at 8.30 am today, Senator Brandis and Senator Hanson-Young each submitted a letter in accordance with standing order 75 proposing a matter of public importance for discussion. The question of which proposal would be submitted to the Senate was determined by lot. As a result, I inform the Senate that the following letter has been received from Senator Brandis:

Dear Mr President,

Pursuant to Standing Order 75, I propose that the following matter of public importance be submitted to the Senate for discussion:

The serious deterioration of the public finance of Queensland, and the collapse of the Queensland economy, under the Rudd and Bligh Governments

I call upon those senators who approve of the proposed discussion to rise in their places.

More than the number of senators required by the standing orders having risen in their places—


The 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.
