Foreign Affairs and Trade: Overseas Travel (Question No. 549)
Page: 167
Senator BOB BROWN (Tasmania—Leader of the Australian Greens) (17:48): Madam Deputy President, I have taken a look at the matter that the President has just had tabled. I seek leave to ask the Senate that they be incorporated into Hansard.
The ACTING DEPUTY PRESIDENT: Is leave granted?
Senator Bushby interjecting—
The ACTING DEPUTY PRESIDENT: Perhaps we could postpone that to a later time, Senator Brown, when others have seen the document.
Senator BOB BROWN: I am prepared to do that. I would ask—
The ACTING DEPUTY PRESIDENT: There appears to be some concern about—
Senator BOB BROWN: If I may finish—
The ACTING DEPUTY PRESIDENT: granting leave when people have not seen the documents.
Senator BOB BROWN: Yes, but this is the unusual circumstance where the President has tabled documents. I would have thought that the chamber could take that as a reasonable indication that they might be incorporated into Hansard.
Senator Bushby: No.
The ACTING DEPUTY PRESIDENT: No. Senator Bushby, I am advised that it will not be printed in Hansardsimply by being tabled. People would have to search out the document.
Senator Bushby: I doubt there would be any issue, but we would like to see it before we actually agree to provide leave.
The ACTING DEPUTY PRESIDENT: Are you comfortable with that, Senator Bob Brown?
Senator BOB BROWN: I leave it to you.
The ACTING DEPUTY PRESIDENT: Senator Bushby is saying that he believes there would not be a problem with granting leave, but he would seek to see the document before agreeing to do so. Are you happy to just postpone this matter for a little longer?
Senator BOB BROWN: Yes, for the comfort of the Senate, I am. I also ask that the several letters from me to the President, which are cited in the document, also be printed in the Hansard. I will be asking that; I am very happy for those letters to be provided.
The ACTING DEPUTY PRESIDENT: So you would be including that in what you would want to be printed. Thank you, Senator Brown. We will get back to that question in a minute.
