Amendments Nos. 98 and 112 are related and may be discussed together by agreement. Is that agreed? Agreed.
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.

Before the Senator finishes, will she second the proposition of Senator Sherlock?
I can only echo the Senator's sentiments, although it is not appropriate for me to make a speech from here.
I appreciate that. I thank the Senator.
There are two things. The Senator is over time, for a start.
That is not appropriate. Senator Keogan is out of time.
The Senator is over time. She can raise this another day.
The Senator, with no interruption.
I ask the Senator to please sit down. She is finished now.
The Senator will have another opportunity. She has made the point very well.
Thank you. I call Senator McGahon.
Senator McGahon, without interruption.
Senator McGahon should be used as a template for how to get it all said in two minutes. Well done.
No interruptions of the speaker.
Senator Buttimer has not named anyone.
Senator Dolan is a voice of rationality.
I will pick up on what Senator Boyhan said and ask that for the rest of the day people respect each other's position. We are all entitled to take different ideological stances. I ask that Senators make their statements and move on. I hope we can do so. I did not hear the earlier debate.
Senator Currie has waited patiently all morning. She will contribute now with the co-operation of Senator Ruane.
