These are the questions I put to the Leader. I am asking about the procedure adopted which breaks the rules of the House. Senator Heffernan was asked by the Labour Party to resign from a joint committee and refused. He is now being booted out. The Leader of this House has obviously signed this document and it has been authorised by the Government, which has no legal authority in this House in this particular regard. That is a fact. What the Leader is doing is questionably illegal.
