Motions: Dissent from Ruling

Motions

Mr ALBANESE (Grayndler—Leader of the Opposition) (12:26): I certainly know, from the Manager of Opposition Business, that it was not a reflection on the chair or your capacity—which is recognised by all members in terms of the decision that he made. He made that, and made it clear to enable debate in this chamber of amendments that the member for Nicholls said he wanted to have debated and voted upon. If the member for Nicholls is now saying that he doesn't want to do that, well, so be it. The member for Nicholls has quite rightly indicated that Labor won't be supporting his amendments—spot on, digger. Because we on this side actually don't support an undermining of the Murray-Darling Basin Plan, we don't support stopping water going to South Australia and we don't support the sort of denigration that we heard from the member saying that just about the only people who care about this are people in Adelaide. The fact is that this is a national issue.
