Senator Smith, please resume your seat. Before I call you, Senator Henderson, I am going to take the interjection, Senator Duniam. It has always been my practice to hold firmly to the view that suspensions should be about detailing why a matter is urgent. You can check on the many times we've had suspensions in this place. When I am in the chair, I always draw senators back to the urgency of the matter, and I have drawn Senator Smith back a number of times.
