Senator HANSON-YOUNG (South Australia) (14:20): Mr President, I ask a further supplementary question. I find it disgusting that we have just had the Leader of the Government in this place play politics with the lives of this family rather than listening to their plight and the need for compassion that this Australian community has asked for. The PRESIDENT: Senator Hanson-Young, resume your seat. Senator Macdonald on a point of order. Senator Ian Macdonald: Mr President, this is question time not time for senators to make statements when the TV is recording the issue. This particular session of the day is for senators to ask questions of ministers and get answers. Senator Hanson-Young so far has spent most of her time and all she has done is make a political statement. I ask you to insist that she ask a question or sit down. The PRESIDENT: In relation to the point of order, generally senators are entitled to have a preamble to their question, to set-up the question and to give some background information for the question. However, I do acknowledge that in this case, Senator Hanson-Young, you may have deviated from setting up that question. So I would ask you to come to your question.
