Mr President, on the point of order: my first intention was to move an extension of time for Senator McGauran, but I would like to speak on the point of relevance, which is that Senator McGauran is trying to make a point of relevance on the original question he asked, not on the second supplementary—which was not what he referred to in his point of order. Senator McGauran ought to read his notes again, because I think he got a little mucked up, and the second supplementary did not go to the questions he raised in his alleged point of relevance. So there is no point of order, and I suggest that Senator McGauran pay closer attention to the notes that Senator Abetz provides him with.
