Penny Wong (SA, Australian Labor Party, Leader of the Opposition in the Senate) Share this | Hansard source

Through you, Mr President: it's entirely a matter for Senator Hanson if she wishes to extend the courtesy. I understand that there are two senators who were seeking leave to make a short statement. I am wondering if the senator would postpone this debate to enable that to occur and then we can proceed. She is within her rights to move suspension of standing orders. But, if she were prepared to extend the courtesy, it would be appreciated.
