On a point of order, Madam Temporary Chair, this legislation can do what it needs to do on salt without interfering with the states, and I understand the state guys got a bit exercised. Senator Conroy, this legislation does not compel the states to do anything other than ignore the science review committee's work if they choose to, and my old mate over in the corner knows that.

The TEMPORARY CHAIRMAN: Senator Heffernan, that is not a point of order. You will get an opportunity to contribute to the debate.
