on indulgence—I just ask for an indication from the honourable member for Melbourne whether he proposes to keep speculating about the definition of 'journalist' for a lengthy period. If we were to give this bill precedence over the 90-second statements, we could deal with the bill before question time, but, if the honourable member wants to keep talking about the definition of 'journalists' for another half an hour or so, we can allow 90-second statements. It is really a question of whether the honourable member wants to run down the clock or not. That is the issue.
