In fact, this government have done it in the past when they have called extra sitting days on Fridays and have consistently refused to have question time despite us, every single time, asking for question time. Given the filibustering that went on this morning, including the farcical situation of Senator Bernardi getting up, supposedly congratulating Senator Moore and saying that he was going to lose senator statement time, yet I notice that he did not appear on the senator statement list. That is clearly a misuse of the Senate. These are important issues. We are holding the government accountable on their farcical and poor financial laws, so we will be supporting this suspension.
