You are right again, Mr Deputy President.

Opposition senators interjecting—

This unruly opposition does not want to listen to serious debate which affects the health and wellbeing of individuals here. I will not risk the wellbeing of an unknown person being brought before the Senate for purposes of privilege and for purposes that we have not had fully explained to us without me knowing that the wellbeing is going to be vouchsafed by that process. I ask the members bringing this matter before this Senate to think about this again because they have a high responsibility on their shoulder and they are not showing the ability to undertake that responsibility with the care that I would expect.
