Mr President, I rise on a point of order. It is unusual to have a situation where there is no opposition duty minister in the chamber. I am pleased that, by raising this point of order, I have given an opportunity for Senator Ellison to come into the chamber to assist the acting Opposition Whip. This does provide an opportunity for you to perhaps put this question again, as I slowly complete what I think is an important point of order that I hope you are going to, in your wisdom, find considerable favour with.
