I understand that when the Senate suspended yesterday evening, Senator Fielding was in continuation in relation to general discussion, and I do not think Senator Joyce had formally moved his amendments. The government has certain views that it would like to put in relation to the debate thus far. If Senator Milne is ready to speak, it would be appropriate for her to do so, but on the understanding of all colleagues that Senator Fielding is part heard.
