On a point of order, Madam Temporary Chair: the point of order is relevance. We are now having a discussion on an amendment which I think has been before the chair for at least a couple of hours and Senator McGauran is talking about booth results. I see Senator Minchin, the former Leader Of the Opposition in the Senate, coming over to talk to Senator McGauran. For the leadership of the Liberal Party in this place to have allowed this sort of behaviour on this bill for this long is quite extraordinary.
