On prevailing side: this member voted with the winning side in 440 of 443 decisive votes (0 abstentions excluded).

Can Senator Flynn resume her seat, please, because a point of order has been raised by Senator Fitzpatrick?
I ask the Senator to resume her seat for a moment, please. I call Senator Fitzpatrick now, please. We will try to continue this debate on a calm level as we are all trying to balance rights here.
Senator Flynn's comments were not directed at an individual.

It is my great pleasure to recognise Austria National Day 2022.
