On a point of order: both the major parties deny denied me leave to make a short statement earlier. In light of your ruling that you didn't hear an affirmative to grant leave, I'd appeal to you that that's an inappropriate ruling, because when you said, 'Is leave granted? There being no objection, leave is granted,' no-one objected to granting me leave, so I should have been entitled to make a statement relating to the factual accuracy of the Greens' motion.
