Mr Deputy President, I raise a point of order. I had been following this on the TV monitors before I came to the chamber. My understanding is that this is a motion by Senator Brown to set aside standing orders. If that is correct then Senator Milne should not be canvassing the substantive issues but should be telling the Senate why it is essential that standing orders—the standing orders, I might say, that the Greens and the Labor Party have guillotined through this chamber—should be set aside to allow the statement to be made.
