We are entitled to move a further amendment under the standing orders and under House of Representatives Practice. We are perfectly entitled to move a further amendment. The fact that the government has closed us down when we have tried to continue the debate in relation to fuel says everything about the way this government runs this place, and everything about the arrogance of the Prime Minister and the leader of the government in this House. It is with great regret that we are moving a motion of dissent from your ruling, but we are doing it because we want to have the right to debate petrol prices in Australia. We want to speak for Australian motorists. We want to speak for Australian people.
