That is a very important issue because my friend and colleague the member for Hinkler was very hopeful of speaking on this bill and in my discussions with the minister this morning we were supposed to have been allowed a small number of speakers.

There were many colleagues on the opposition side who were keen to speak but were denied the opportunity. That is why this gag is appalling.
