Senator IAN MACDONALD (Queensland) (15:58): I seek leave to make a statement for one minute. The PRESIDENT: Leave is granted for one minute. Senator IAN MACDONALD: As this has obviously turned into a debate—contrary to the rules—could I enter it, for a minute! The Greens continue to try to find fault with a policy that has actually stopped the boats. The things they complain about are, principally, matters that were introduced under the Labor government. At the time, the Greens never raised a whimper about the Labor government introducing Manus and Nauru. They never raised a whimper about children in detention, in those days. Now there is a different government, they continue to set up these useless committees that never go anywhere. There are already two committees looking at the same thing, in relation to offshore detention—set up by Labor, I might add—and this will be another waste of the Senate's resources. The PRESIDENT: The question is that the motion moved by Senator Hanson-Young be agreed to. A division having been called and the bells being rung— Senator Ian Macdonald: Is it too late to move an— The PRESIDENT: Just a moment. Lock the doors. Senator Macdonald, it is too late to move an amendment, if that is what you are seeking to do. Senator Ian Macdonald: Mr President, I desperately want to move an amendment to refer this to any other committee but the Legal and Constitutional Affairs Committee. The PRESIDENT: That is not in order, Senator Macdonald. Senator Conroy interjecting— The PRESIDENT: Order! Senator Conroy, the standing orders state that, once the tellers are appointed, you cannot move.
