Mr Acting Deputy President, just on the point of order, I am disappointed that Senator Arbib has taken this point of order, which has effectively guillotined my speech pointing out how Queensland was being short-changed. I can understand why the Labor Party do not want me to talk about this—they do not want those listening to this debate to understand how awful the government has been in Queensland—but I was germane to the subject. I was talking about broadband and how, if we have an ETS, it would impact upon regional Queensland as regional Queensland is also impacted upon by the broadband network. That is the connection.
