Yes. The Senator has said that.
On prevailing side: this member voted with the winning side in 440 of 443 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.
This is the point of the site: contributions keep the party held on the day, not the one held now.

I do not think that is implied. Thank you, Senator.
Well I am putting question-----
Thank you, Senator. I am putting the question-----
Well, I am asking the Senator to-----
No. The Senator has made his point very clearly.
Yes, and the Senator has said that, so I am putting the question-----
Yes, all right.
The Senator has made his point. I am asking him----
The Senator should bear in mind that the recommendation has been ruled out of order, and it is not relevant to the section.
That is not what is involved-----
That is not-----
If the Senator is going to digress, I will put the question.
That is not the case. There was a ruling at the beginning.
No. I must interrupt the Senator there. There was a ruling from the Chair, and latitude was given to the Senator to speak the section to incorporate many of his arguments, which he did very succinctly. That was done. The Minister of State responded and we cannot go on with this interminably.
The Senator made his point about the identification of an individual.
I ask the Senator to make his point very briefly.
