On the point of order, I think Senator Williams frankly has a bit of a cheek after the performance of the National Party when various other people have been speaking in this debate, particularly the minister, in trying to rationally answer questions and having a filibuster going on here for days and days. We are 25 hours into this debate and we are about 15 per cent through the amendments. Senator Williams has the temerity to say that there is an interjection taking place to that absolute diatribe, which has got nothing to do with the amendment before the chair. Frankly, if you uphold the point of order I understand, but it is a point of order which is based on hypocrisy.
