My understanding is that you always go from side to side—government, opposition, government, opposition, and so on. If you have a party representing an infinitesimally small part of the Australian public, claiming that because she or he is the leader of that, should not in my view interfere with the normal procedure of going government, opposition, and then third parties, if that is the case.
The CHAIRMAN: For senators interested, I refer them to pages 240 to 241 of Odgers' Australian Senate Practice.
