I would just like senators here in the chamber, those listening and those people in the gallery to understand exactly what is going on here. The issue is that Senator Cormann, presumably as a backbencher, is now moving that we disband the program that we have debated all morning to resolve—and we have had a commitment to resolve the issue about the Carbon Pollution Reduction Scheme and the legislation—and abandon that program so we can deal with a disallowance which he is now moving as a procedural issue in an unprecedented lack of discipline.
