On the section, please. The Senator has been straying beyond the section in the last two minutes.

I am sorry. I understand the concerns you may have and it has been well expressed and articulated since 2.30 p.m. today. I ask Members to please stick to the section and to refer to it, and not to be going back and forth. I ask the Members to respect where we are and what we are doing here. This interaction between the Members is not helping anybody. I understand the motivation of some on all sides of the House to make the Bill a better one or to improve it or whatever. I ask the Members, though, to please stick to…

I thank the Senator. That is not a point of order. The matter of the discussion of business is one for the Leader of the House, Senator Chambers, and her alone, in consultation with her office.

To be fair to her, she can reflect on the proposal in her own time. It is a spur-of-the-moment request and she cannot be asked to answer the question right now. She may reflect upon what Senator Kyne has proposed. If she sees merit in it, then she can give it consideration. If she does not, then that is a matter for the Leader and for her alone. I call her now.
