I will not revisit the arguments of this morning—we have already canvassed those in depth—but I would like to make one point. There is such a thing as natural justice and it should occur in this chamber as well. I think that natural justice is being denied to people like Senator Day from Family First. He gets one question a fortnight. It is an opportunity for him to represent his concerns in this chamber and to get answers from ministers. That is being denied—denied by the Greens and denied by other crossbenchers. How would any of us feel if the boot were on the other foot? How would we feel if leave were denied just to produce some petty political result? Why are we doing this? Why is Senator Moore undoing all the good work?
