On the point of order: the speaker, the former minister who knows how these things work, has clearly explained to you, Madam Temporary Chair, how this debate should be proceeding now—that is, there should be questions of the minister and answers. Can you draw this speaker to order, tell her that she is supposed to be asking questions and ask her to sit down if she cannot. She has told you how you should be ruling.
The TEMPORARY CHAIRMAN: Senator Macdonald, there is no point of order. Senator Singh, you may continue, but before you do I remind the chamber to maintain this as an orderly debate.
