He is starting to complain now, Mr President! Senator O’Brien does not like me nailing him on the fact that this is a legitimate exercise—this is what Senator Xenophon and the crossbench and the opposition are charged with doing here in the public’s service. The government’s complaint about it and this repeated call, ‘We’re up against everybody on the other side and there is somehow some nexus about it,’ is completely false, manufactured and will not wash.
