On a point of order, what Senator Conroy has just read out has no mention of salt and the impact on the land et cetera that is in this legislation. This legislation is designed to be seen to be doing something when you are doing nothing, because this committee is going to have no power to compel at all.

The TEMPORARY CHAIRMAN: Senator Heffernan, there is no point of order.

I am just trying to inform you, Senator Conroy, because you know that you know nothing about it. It is a legitimate concern, Madam Temporary Chair Stephens. What he has read out is actually true and even though he is rubbishing it, it is actually true.

The TEMPORARY CHAIRMAN: Senator Heffernan, you will get the call to make a speech.
