Order! The time allotted for the consideration of these bills has now expired. The question is that the remaining stages of the bills be agreed to and the bills be now passed.

Mr Deputy President, I raise a point of order. How is it possible for this Senate to vote on these bills when not one word has been spoken on two of them?
Stephen Parry Tasmania, Liberal Party
Senator Macdonald, there is no point of order. The Senate passed a motion earlier today indicating this would be the outcome of today.
Question agreed to.
