Before calling the next speaker I should mention that many Senators are looking to contribute but not all will be able to do so unless they share time with party colleagues. The next speaker, the leader of the Green Party group, is sharing time with Senator Vincent P. Martin. They are taking four minutes apiece. We have the rotas of speakers from the different parties to be called in order, but if they all take six minutes, party colleagues will not have time to contribute. If speakers wish to share time with other people on the list, they must indicate to me that they are willing to share time. I am just informing Senators as the Minister must, as agreed in the Order of Business, speak at 12.22 p.m., with statements to conclude at 12.30 p.m. I want to ensure everybody can get an opportunity to speak.
