I seek leave to return to item 12 that the Senate has just agreed to.

Leave is granted for two minutes.

I sought some agreement prior to this for five minutes, which is considerably less than I would have had had I been here in time. I am not going to bother if the Labor Party are going to restrict me to just two minutes. I cannot say what I want to say in two minutes. I am just disappointed that the commitment given by Senator Moore earlier has been so flippantly reneged upon.

Mr Acting Deputy President, I rise on a point of order. I did say that I would give Senator Macdonald leave to speak. I did not quantify that it would be for five minutes.
