Senator Brandis is entitled to seek leave. People in the chamber, regardless of where they sit on the floor, are entitled to either give leave or not give leave. That is the choice of others. I have done the right thing and called Senator Brandis. He has done the right thing and sought leave. I am asking the question: is leave granted for Senator Brandis to make a statement?

Leave not granted.
