Mr Acting Deputy President, I rise on a point of order. I ask that you draw the speaker's attention to the bill. I appreciate the fact that he is using as much maritime and navigational terminology as he can but, notwithstanding that, he is not referring to the bill. This is a time for non-controversial legislation. If he is going to filibuster, I ask that he at least be artful about it and refer to the bill.
