I rise on a point of order. On this most historic day, as some people see it, in Australia we are passing legislation that 90 per cent of the people in this parliament do not understand—and that is the truth.
The TEMPORARY CHAIRMAN: Senator Heffernan, that is not a point of order. Before I call Senator Bob Brown, I remind all senators that it is disorderly to interject and that courtesy should be given to the speaker. Senator Brown, you have the call.
