Thank you very much, Senator Scarr. I will remind senators that seeking advice from the clerk in relation to making rulings is within the standing orders and is normal practice of acting deputy presidents or temporary chairs in this place and also of the President and Deputy President. I thank Senator Scarr for his support. The ruling was made based on the advice from the clerk. I allocate the call back to Senator Whitten.
