Broadcasting Bill 2008: Committee Stage

I am not sure if Senators Mullen and Norris were differing in their interpretations of the work of William Butler Yeats. I had some difficulty in trying to interpret what Senators Norris and Quinn were saying. I am not sure whether they are thinking about heading for greener pastures in the near future. If they are thinking along those lines, I will tell them, as I told my colleague, Senator Walsh, earlier, about a gentleman who recently came to see me. He told me that he was interested in securing employment. He said he thought it would be a promotion for him. When I was taking down his details, I said, "Do you mind me asking you, John, what your date of birth is?". He gave me a date in May 1922. Senators Quinn and Norris should reflect on that as they consider making an emergency exit from the House.
