I seek leave to table a document. Earlier today, during my second reading contribution on the Excise Legislation Amendment (Condensate) Bill 2008, I made reference to a recent letter from the Treasurer to the chairman of the ACCC in relation to the joint venture arrangements relating to the marketing of natural gas at the North West Shelf project. As I inadvertently did not have a copy of that letter at the time, I now seek leave to table the letter referred to.

Senator Xenophon, I have just come on duty. Neither I nor the acting whip has actually seen the document. Have you shown it to our whip?

I can indicate that the document was shown to the whips officers earlier today and I can assure you that that was the case and that there was no issue—it was my inadvertence.

Leave granted.
