Rhetoric & votes →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.

I thank Senator Doherty. Are there any other comments on amendment No. 3? Senator Craughwell will not repeat the same legal advice. The Senator may comment.

I have two comments to make. No one would impugn her personal integrity, which is above reproach, regarding the comments made. I appreciate that she will not hold up Committee Stage, but I would appreciate if she could let the Minister of State respond.

It was just that you made the comment that people were impugning your integrity.

We will do that but Senator Craughwell has a comment to make.

To be helpful, the Senator would have to go to the Committee of Parliamentary Privileges and Oversight. We are on Committee Stage by order of the House. Any processes involving Article 7 are under the committee and outside the remit of the House.

If Senator Craughwell wants to invoke Standing Order 70, he would have to go to the Committee of Parliamentary Privileges and Oversight and follow a process there. We are now on Committee Stage by order of the House.

You have had great latitude, Senator. Can you wrap up and then the question will be put?
