In the half a minute before question time starts, I take the opportunity to remind senators that it has been brought to my attention more than once in the last couple of days that there has been a failure to observe standing order 185. One of the things that we do in this place is to acknowledge the chair when we enter and leave this chamber. We do not pass between the chair and a senator who is speaking, and a senator, on entering the chamber, shall take his place and not stand in the passages. I remind honourable senators of that.
