Order! Before I call Senator Madigan, I ask if it is the wish of the Senate to proceed to the consideration of government documents, pursuant to standing order 57(1)(d)(xi), at the conclusion of his speech?

Question agreed to.

Pursuant to order, I now call Senator Madigan to make his first speech and ask honourable senators that the usual courtesies be extended to him. I call Senator Madigan.
