Madam Acting Chair, I raise a point of order. Acknowledging that this is an important debate, I ask Senator Brandis to withdraw the imputation that I filibustered anything. I have been asking you questions for a period of time, as have Senator Leyonhjelm and Senator Xenophon, that have been put into the public domain by the Scrutiny of Bills Committee. This is hardly a waste of time and I ask you to withdraw that. We have largely conducted debate respectfully and I would ask you to continue in that vein.
