I seek leave to make a further contribution.

Leave granted.

It is my understanding that, in this place once an explanation has been provided, it is common to allow a recommittal. I appreciate that Senator Seselja may need a little bit of time to consult with his colleagues, and I note that colleagues have come into the chamber. I wonder if the Senate might give them that time and allow us to make a determination about this, because it is our understanding that this would ordinarily be acceptable.
