    "content": "On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I am rising under Standing Order No.103 to direct the House that it is a matter of public knowledge and notoriety that, in fact, the subject being brought on the Floor of this House is a subject of court proceedings happening before the whole country. It will be highly prejudicial for us to engage in that debate at this particular moment in time. We need to respect constitutional institutions that we have. You will remember that last week when this House was charged with that matter, the courts refused to intervene. I think we owe it to other constitutional institutions to also give them the respect they deserve under the rules of sub judice, not to discuss those matters when they are live before them. Having said that, I have always laid this complaint on the Table of Parliament. There is something called continuity of Government. If you look at the matters in the The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Director, Hansard and AudioServices, Senate."
