I am just going to speak to that. Stop the clock, please, for the member for Melbourne. I have heard a lot of wide-ranging debate on the voice—a lot—and the member for Melbourne is being entirely relevant to this topic. You were all heard in a respectful silence. I'm asking you to afford the member for Melbourne the same privilege. You have a right to raise points of order. I have dealt with them both. I would hope that you would allow the member for Melbourne, in the less than one minute that he now has remaining, to complete his statement. He gets the full five minutes that each of you got. If I were to pull—anyway, let's move on. Member for Melbourne, you are being relevant, and I'm sorry for those interruptions.
