Leave has been requested to speak for 10 minutes. Is leave granted?

Opposition senators interjecting—

I am hearing senators saying five minutes. Any single senator can determine this. I am hearing five minutes from the other end of the chamber and I am hearing up to 10. I do not want to turn this into an auction. Is leave granted for Senator Brandis to speak for five minutes? I need a no if anyone objects. Leave is granted for five minutes, Senator Brandis.
