Mr President, I rise on a point of order. Is it not your normal practice and the practice of the Senate to alternate between both sides of the house? Senator Xenophon is clearly on that side. So far we have had four views supporting the motion and so far only two against. I would have thought the call would have come to me or Senator Bernardi, who both indicated that we want to speak on this motion.
