Mr President, I rise on a couple of points of order. Could you direct Senator Conroy to observe the standing orders and direct his remarks through the chair. Could you also point out to him that Senator Abetz has been in this chamber debating the Fair Work Bill, and it is not unreasonable that he be absent at the moment. I would ask Senator Conroy to be chivalrous in his remarks.
