Mr President, on the point of order: I realise that, in the break, you'll be looking at the topic of questions. I just draw your attention to Odgersin relation to the three questions that have been asked here by Senator Bilyk. Odgers' 'Rules for questions' does say:

We've had three questions on detailed information for which there are other avenues through the parliament by which this information can be sought. There's a constant flouting of this. There are points of order on questions that are probably not in order in the first place. It is a waste of this Senate's time when there are more important things to be debating and discussing.
