Senator MARGETTS (4:20 PM) —Mr Acting Deputy President, I am wondering why there is no time set for tonight's adjournment.


Senator Faulkner —There is; when the budget speech is finished.


Senator MARGETTS —But that was not mentioned.


Senator Faulkner —It is in the motion. We just hope it is not a long budget speech.


Senator MARGETTS —It would have been useful if it were written on the program and mentioned in the motion that has just been proposed. At the moment it looks as though the program is open-ended until the adjournment is proposed, and we are signing up to an open—


Senator Carr —It is point (b) of the motion.


Senator MARGETTS —I did not have the motion in my hand, so I thought it necessary to point that out and to suggest that something might have been left out. I am relieved to think we will have an adjournment at some stage.

(Quorum formed)
