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.

The next speaker is Senator Pauline O'Reilly. Given that she is always very co-operative, I will ask whether she might facilitate the Minister coming back in. She has the intellectual capacity to make her contribution brief to allow the Minister back in.
