Indeed, that was the practice during the last Parliament. Hon. Senators, as you are also aware, on the 9th August 2018, this House amended its Standing Orders relating to the manner of processing statements as provided for in the Standing Orders No. 46 to 53. In a nutshell, the Committee which a statement has been sought from, may invite the Senator who requested the statement, relevant Cabinet Secretary or any other person it may consider necessary during deliberations on the statement, and may prepare and table a report on the matter. Once the report is tabled, the Speaker may allow comments or observations in relation to the matter. This calls for a change in how statements are handled at the end of the session. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
