Madam Acting Deputy President, I raise a point of order. Standing order 187 is a pretty simple one and it is in there for a reason. It says:

A senator shall not read a speech.

I have been watching Senator Polley from the moment she started and she has not lifted her eyes from the speech she is reading. So I draw your attention to standing order 187 and ask that you have the senator comply with that standing order.
