When I raised this point, the Minister noticed I was speaking to the Chair and misunderstood what I was doing. The order appears to be extraordinary. By the time I speak, five speakers from the Government side will have spoken and only one from this side. If Senator Healy Eames speaks before me, six or seven Government speakers will have contributed before anyone from this side speaks, which is a little unbalanced. While I accept this is the order laid down by the Committee on Procedure and Privileges, I ask the Acting Chairman to refer the matter to the committee as an anomaly.
