Before the Senator goes off on another tangent-----
Jerry Buttimer
Rhetoric & votes →On prevailing side: this member voted with the winning side in 634 of 639 decisive votes (0 abstentions excluded). Read it as a government-or-opposition indicator rather than a measure of influence — the figure is near 100% for members supporting the government of the day and near 0% for those opposing it.

Let me finish, thank you. I have allowed a liberal dose of stretching the debate on section 62, going beyond the cables across the Atlantic nearly, and I appeal to all Members, in the interest of brevity, to stay on the section.

The Senator knows better than anybody that this is not relevant to the debate and section we are dealing with.

The centre Senator Craughwell is talking about is not referenced in this section. I refer all Members to the explanatory memorandum to understand what specifically the sections relate to when making their contributions.

I ask Members to avoid repetition. We are heading into the realm of repetition on contributions on section 62.

That is not really on the section.

It is not relevant to the section, to be fair.

Amendments Nos. 47 and 48 are related and may be discussed together, by agreement. Is that agreed? Agreed.

To be fair to all Members of the House, any Member is entitled to come in at any stage and have their contribution heard and put on the record of the House. To be fair to Senator Ruane, as she has outlined, she has done an inordinate amount of work, which I appreciate but it is every Member's entitlement to come in and speak to a Bill, whether it is on an amendment or a section.

I ask Members who are not participating in the debate to leave the Chamber so that Members can hear the debate.

I am not being facetious but I genuinely cannot hear the Senator. I ask him to speak into the microphone.

I could hear the Senator much clearer at the end of his contribution.
