Mr Chair, I rise on point of order and refer to standing order 144(5):

In committee senators may speak more than once to the same question, and, when a question has been proposed from the chair, shall confine themselves to that question.

The question before the chair is the government's amendment. Unless Senator Cormann is referring to the Chinese buying up land in Australia and wants to take action on that, I cannot see how it is relevant to the government's amendment.
