On the point of order that has been taken—while I have no idea what Senator Abetz wants to do—can I just point out that this does not conclude the debate. If Senator Brown had any idea of the rules of the Senate he would appreciate that if a debate does not conclude today it goes over until 6.50 pm on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. So he will not be restricted if Senator Abetz wants to take the full time.
