    "content": "On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I am looking at Standing Order No.45(3) and I just want to read a section that pre-empts the discussion. It states in part that:- “..on the day on which the statement is proposed to be made, hand to the Speaker a written notification of the matter, but the Speaker may refuse to allow the request unless satisfied that the matter may be properly discussed in the Senate.” That clearly suggests that under Standing Order No.45, there is provision for discussion only that the Speaker has to ensure that it is properly discussed. From what other Members said, they can see the limitations quite clearly and they are happy to discuss within the confines. Therefore, you should allow for discussion and ensure that Members properly discuss. Standing Order No.45 provides for that and indicates quite clearly, that discussion can pursue from such a statement."
