Mr Deputy Speaker, I rise on a point of order. I have just had a reread through the amendment. I understand what you have said about a wide-ranging debate. But the member opposite has not referred back to the issues contained in her own amendments, which are in relation to the Cole inquiry, or indeed to the various aspects of that inquiry. Her whole speech seems to be about family relationship centres, which bear no resemblance at all to a royal commission, to a royal commission bill or to the Cole inquiry. I ask you to exercise your judgment and bring her back to the bill. If she has nothing further to say about the bill then perhaps she should sit down.
