I regard the matters raised by Senators Howard, Neville, Doyle, O'Keeffe, Cosgrave, Ross and Jackman as suitable for discussion on the Adjournment. I have selected Senator Howard's matter and it will be taken at the conclusion of business. Senators Neville, Doyle, O'Keeffe, Cosgrave, Ross and Jackman may give notice on another day of the matters they wish to raise.
