On a point of order, Mr Deputy President. I raised some questions in the debate which related to Senator Ludwig. He is trying to answer them. I move:

That so much of standing orders be suspended as would prevent me from moving a motion to allow Senator Ludwig to respond to the question on when the replacement for the northern Family Court judge is to be appointed.

Question put.

The Senate divided [21:46]

(The Deputy President—Senator Parry)

Question negatived.
