Well, if you did not know that, you should ask Senator Dastyari—he is the one with all the intelligence, although that is mainly within the Labor Party, not outside.

This procedure is a sad indictment of where the Senate has gone. I am sad that the Senate has come to this.

This is an outrageous abuse of the proceedings of the Senate.
