Standing orders, Mr President, must be suspended so that the Senate is able to give the young people of Australia the answer which they demand to hear. The young people of this nation deserve to know whether their Senate is with them, and no amount of ignorance, no amount of intransigence from certain elements within the government should prevent this chamber from giving them that answer. I urge the chamber to support the suspension of standing orders to enable us to give them the answer which they so rightly deserve to have.
