I was going to get to the questions that Senator Milne asked in relation to an amendment, not before the chair, but a Green amendment that is yet to be moved and appropriately dealt with later in the debate.
This morning we had Senator Cameron take 15 minutes to repeat the same question ad nauseam only to rush out of the chamber before I was even able to answer. Then we had Senator Lines asking the same question over and over over 15 minutes and she has now rushed out of the chamber. Now we have got my good friend jack-in-the-box Senator Dastyari in the chamber readying himself to ask the same question over and over in 15 minutes.
