because, aside from Senator Birmingham's poor parliamentary behaviour, he needs to understand that in this committee stage of the debate we are dealing with the first set of questions—which are moved in one set because of the way in which the question is cast. The remainder of the questions will be on the motion that matters in the bill stand as printed. The advice the opposition received from the Clerk was that senators could raise and move through issues throughout all of the amendments. If you want to challenge that advice, Mr Temporary Chairman Fawcett, that is all well and good. But for Senator Birmingham to be making cheap, snide remarks about how senators are addressing a routine—
The TEMPORARY CHAIRMAN: Order! Senator Collins, you have made your point; you will resume your seat. Senator Singh, you have six minutes and 36 seconds remaining.
