Mr Deputy President, I rise on a point of order. The point of order is that, as no doubt Senator Lundy well knows—and Senator Ludwig well knows—there was an agreement reached between Senator Ludwig and the whips on this side of the chamber that there would be one speaker and one speaker only from this side and one speaker from Labor. This was to accommodate the Labor government’s schedule. I can see Senator Ludwig talking to Senator Lundy, and no doubt he will tell her that she is wrong. I would ask her to refer to the agreement.
