Senator Mulholland, I have now lost count of the times that I have directed you to inform the Senate—

Opposition senators interjecting—

When the frontbench on my left has quite finished, you need to inform the Senate as to why your matter is urgent and you are seeking to suspend standing orders. It's not about farmers in your state, Senator Mulholland. It is about the matters—

Senator Mulholland, you are not in a debate with me.

Opposition senators interjecting—

Order on my left! The behaviour in this place is absolutely disgraceful and disrespectful. Order! Senator Mulholland, please continue.
