Madam Chairman, on a point of order: I know that we have got a wide-ranging debate about legislation and the debate at various times has strayed beyond the amendment before the chair. Not only do the issues that Senator Lines is now raising not relate to the amendment; they do not relate to the legislation before the chamber. She is asking questions about legislation that is due to come before the chamber down the track. I know that the Labor-Greens tag team filibuster is alive and well but, even by Labor's standards, this is taking it to another level.
The TEMPORARY CHAIRMAN: I remind Senator Lines to come back to the matter for discussion.
