I rise on a point of order. Mr Chair, with respect, I do not think this has been handled in a very fair way. It is now 55 minutes into my amendment. I was very brief in moving my amendment—five minutes at most—and there has been a filibuster on both sides, with one responding to the other. Either we have a filibuster, and I get my 20 minutes to filibuster, or we move this amendment and debate the science, where we might have a more lengthy discussion. I do not think it is fair to just keep going backwards and forwards between the coalition and the government.
