Senator, I am just trying to be fair to everybody. You cannot use that terminology in the Chamber. Senator Keogan or any other Member is entitled, as you are, to put his or her case in the Chamber, as Senators have all done today. I have heard most of the debate here and in my office.

I will let Senator Keogan speak for one second. Does Senator Mullen want to make a point of order now?

We are pressed for time so I ask for Members’ co-operation. I dispute that and I also honour the agency of the NGOs in this regard. I have nothing more to say. Everything has been said at this stage.

Senator Conway is next. We are running out of time and I am conscious that we have not heard from the Minister yet. Will Members be precise and brief so we can get everybody in before the end of the time, which is fast approaching?
