That was a fairly expansive contribution to the Senate, and I want to make a few points in response.

No, it will be precise and to the point. The first is that the senator seems to be very keen to quote me, which maybe I'll take as a compliment. But I would make the point that I have served in this chamber opposite Nick Minchin, Eric Abetz, George Brandis and Mathias Cormann, who I had the pleasure of catching up with last week.
