I am sure that Senator Conroy is able to take care of himself—

The TEMPORARY CHAIRMAN: Very able.

but the interjections are very consistent.

Government senators interjecting—

Now they are going to applaud. Maybe we could at least have a space in between them?

How about that? Why don't you just give him, maybe, one second or five seconds or something like that?

The TEMPORARY CHAIRMAN: Senator Wong, you make a very good point.

Senator Whish-Wilson interjecting—

The TEMPORARY CHAIRMAN: Order, Senator Whish-Wilson! Interjections are disorderly no matter where they come from, so I ask for a little bit of shush in the chamber please while Senator Conroy proceeds.
