What a pathetic political joke that is.

I thank Senator Crown for his work. I am not attempting to be patronising but for several reasons I do not expect that should he push the matter to a vote this afternoon it will succeed. I therefore ask him not to let the Government off the hook by having that vote. I ask that he adjourn the matter this afternoon so that it remains on the agenda, alongside the other Bill and allow us to come back in a few weeks and decide whether we are political mice or political men. I had better say political mice or political women as well.
