Stephen Conroy Victoria, Australian Labor Party, Deputy Leader of the Government in the Senate
2:40 pm
Mr President, on the point of order: yet again, this is a spurious waste of the chamber’s time. Senator Brandis wants to try to redefine the question after it has been asked. He seeks to get you to direct the minister on how he can answer the question. All of this is outside standing orders. If Senator Brandis is unhappy with the question that was asked, he should take it to his own tactics committee and stop wasting the time of this chamber. Senator Ludwig has been absolutely on point, absolutely on question, and this point of order should be dismissed immediately.
