Business Statement

Next week the House is in a 1-week adjournment. When the House resumes on Tuesday, 20 August, the Government will look to progress the Government Communications Security Bureau and Related Legislation Amendment Bill and, should time permit, the Resource Management Amendment Bill and the Patents Bill.

I just want to check as to whether the Leader of the House has given any further thought to urgency in the next session.

I have seen a communication today from a well-known blog site contributing the information provided to the Hon Trevor Mallard and congratulating Mr Mallard on the cooperation that has been shown with the Government so far in progressing business through extended hours. The Government will, of course, take urgency if it is required. I am reminded by my colleague behind me that there is some urgency over the Plumbers, Gasfitters and Drainlayers Bill, which we will try to move along as quickly as possible as well.

Further, I just wanted to check the name of the blog site that is defaming me.

And that is not a point of order.
