On a point of order, Madam Acting Deputy President. Usually in these sorts of debates we do allow a fair bit of latitude, but I do think that Senator Macdonald has a particular issue he wants to prosecute, and this is not the time to do it. We should be talking about the government's response to the Community Affairs Report—that is the issue on the table at the moment. I do not disagree that Senator Macdonald has a right to ventilate these views, but now is not the time.
