Formal Business
At about 3:30 pm each Senate sitting day (except Thursdays, when it occurs at 11:45 am) ‘Formal Business’ is dealt with. This includes boring matters, such as the seeking of approval for senators to be absent, but also more interesting matters such as the ordering of the Government to provide documents to the Senate and referrals of matters to Senate Committees.
