Mr Temporary Chairman Fawcett, on a point of order on relevance: this is not a contribution to the debate. This is just tedious repetition and filibustering, and I think is very important that those who may be listening to these proceedings know that those opposite are making no attempt to make a constructive contribution to this debate. They are simply seeking to fill time for the sake of filling time and to delay this legislation, this package of bills, coming to a vote.

The TEMPORARY CHAIRMAN: Senator Brown, I do draw your attention to the question before the chair, which relates to opposition amendments (1) to (3) on sheet 7443.
