Mr Chairman, I rise on a point of order. I do not think there is a point of order. As Senator Macdonald has demonstrated on many, many occasions, he comes into this chamber and has quite a lengthy preamble to—

The TEMPORARY CHAIRMAN: Senator Polley, you are now debating the issue. You are not addressing the point of order. There is no point of order. But I do take this opportunity to remind all senators of the question that is before the chair, and that is the question which all senators should be addressing their remarks to. I am happy to apply it, if that is what the Senate wishes. Senator Singh.
