Senator Hanson-Young, that is very unhelpful. No, you are not in a debate with me. Senator Hanson, I explained to you that you are now speaking to the suspension, so you need to inform the Senate as to why this matter needs to be brought on now.

Senator Hanson, I am the President of the chamber. It is my job to make sure it's orderly and people follow standing orders. You're not in a debate with me. I'm simply trying to make sure that the Senate is orderly and this debate is orderly by drawing you back to the question. I have Senator Scarr on his feet, so, if you would take your seat, I will come back to you when I see Senator Scarr's matter.
