BUSINESS OF THE HOUSE — NON-OFFICIAL BUSINESS
I have a further question. How has the 50 minutes that the Leader of the House referred to become government time or government business when in fact the hour was consumed by a motion moved by the opposition, as is normal during private members’ time; will the Leader of the House tell me how that became government business?

In the 54 minutes the house dealt with the Treasurer’s Advance Authorisation Bill 2008—that is government business.
