Jerry Buttimer: I thank the 23 Senators who contributed on the Order of Business, including the 12 Members who spoke on the Judicial Appointments Bill. In the words of Christie Hennessy, I feel like saddling up my old grey mare. As a messenger boy, I bring my love to all Senators.

Jerry Buttimer: In fairness to Senator Boyhan and his amendment to the Order of Business regarding the mayoral plebiscite, I have given it consideration. On 29 January we had a debate in this House in which the Senator was one of seven Members who participated. I do not think it is appropriate to extend the time today given that we had that debate so recently. It is a fair point that the Senator made, but...
