A point of order, Mr Temporary Chairman. How can you possibly pick Senator Humphries out from this exchange when the minister was the one that started it? If you are going to ask for some order in the chamber, can you at least please be fair about whom you call to order.

The TEMPORARY CHAIRMAN: I am afraid, Senator Ronaldson, that Senator Humphries was speaking.

Senator Ronaldson interjecting—

The TEMPORARY CHAIRMAN: If you want to interrupt him again, you can go right ahead but it is taking out of his time. Do you want to say any more?

Senator Ronaldson interjecting—

The TEMPORARY CHAIRMAN: I'm playing fair. Senator Humphries.
