I will take that interjection. I can tell Senator Nash that everyone in Australia watching the circus that has been the Liberal party room in this parliament over the last week and a half knows that I am speaking the truth. You played procedural games in this chamber, just as you did in June when you did not want to vote on this. You played procedural games in this chamber for hours and hours and hours to give the conservatives inside the Liberal Party time to bring down their leader. Senator Nash, can I suggest you be a little more careful before coming in here accusing others in this chamber of wasting time, after spending so many hours asking me repeated questions on the same issue.
