I thank Senator McDonald. I might make the point that it should be very clear to all watching that it is the opposition and the Greens who have prevented this parliament from continuing to sit and answer questions this afternoon. We're prepared to stay as long as anyone wants us and as long as anyone has got questions. Twice we've attempted to move to not adjourn until the Leader of the Government in the Senate asks that further questions be placed on notice. It would appear that Senator David Pocock, for all of his posturing; the opposition, for all of their posturing; and the Greens don't want to stay and ask questions.
