Senator Lambie, democracy is all about people like you taking advantage of offers by people like me in government to go through the legislation. It's part of democracy. If you say to me, Senator Lambie, 'I want an explanation', and I offer to provide you with that explanation, as I have done for weeks and weeks—

The TEMPORARY CHAIR: Senator Lambie, just wait. Minister, please resume your seat. Senator Lambie, if you would wait for the call it does a couple of things. One, it helps the chamber understand what you're trying to say and it allows Hansard to record what you're saying. It is a common practice of this Senate to wait until you are called and, when you have the call, to say your piece. Senator Lambie, you have the call.
