Senator Cummins, resume your seat.
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.

Senator Cummins, resume your seat.
Please.
The Senator was making a political comment in general.
Senator Cummins, we will hear Senator Keogan without interruption.
No, I will come back-----
Senator Cummins, the record of the House will show what you said.
Senator Keogan has clarified the matter.
In the interests of getting this important legislation through-----
Senator Keogan, do your best not to be provocative.
That is understood. The record will-----
All right.
I ask the Senator to stay with the issue.
I thank the Senator. Senator Robbie Gallagher without interruption please.
I thank Senator Gallagher. Needless to say, we do not want to thwart any discussion or anyone's right to speak to this critical legislation. Senators might exercise personal discretion to allow a lot of people in and allow us to get through all the amendments. I will, therefore, leave that to the good judgment of the speakers. The next speaker on the list is Senator Sherlock.
I thank Senator Sherlock for her contribution and for being so helpful in the fast movement of the debate. I now call on Senator Seery Kearney to speak, please.
That is fine. Can we move on to the amendments, please?
I ask Senator Warfield to allow the Senator to speak without interruption, please.
I ask Senator Seery Kearney to mind her language, please.
The Senator has made her point and I ask her to return to the amendment, please.
I thank the Senator and she has made her point clearly. I call now Senator John McGahon.
