Mr Davis: On a point of order, President, regarding the tabling of the VFMC report in lieu of an earlier one, does the Leader of the Government want to explain why that is in lieu? What has occurred here?

The PRESIDENT: Mr Davis, on advice, my understanding is that the minister does not have to respond to that. There is nothing required from the minister to respond.

Mr Davis: So an additional report has been tabled for no reason? What is going on here?

The PRESIDENT: Again, the advice is there was an error in the report. That is why the report has been tabled.

Mr Ondarchie: On a point of order, President, we have only just got the list of papers emailed to us in the last couple of minutes. Before, when we used to get a hard copy, they were available when we arrived at the chamber. I am just wondering, now that we have gone to a more paperless provision, whether we could get them ahead of 2 minutes before the Clerk announces them.

The PRESIDENT: I will take that on notice.
