I rise on a point of order, Mr Temporary Chairman, under standing order 118, subsection (1). I am only new to this place but I cannot see how this amendment Senator Dastyari is moving is in any way relevant. The title page of this bill says:

A Bill for an Act to repeal certain Acts and provisions of Acts …

Senator Dastyari has been speaking now for 12 minutes and has not made any comments relevant to that description. Standing order 118(1) says:

An amendment may be made to any part of a bill, provided it is relevant to the subject matter of the bill …

This is not relevant to the subject matter of the bill, so I ask you to rule it out of order.
