Senator IAN MACDONALD (Queensland) (15:40): Mr President, I seek leave to make a short statement in relation to this motion. The PRESIDENT: Leave is granted for one minute. Senator IAN MACDONALD: In crafting the motion that Senator McLucas and I drafted, we wanted to highlight the great win of the Cowboys rugby league team and the excellence of its co-captain, Johnathan Thurston. We did not want to sully what is, in effect, a great sporting achievement by referring to any political matter whatsoever. So I am disappointed that this motion brings in some other issues that become matters of politics. I leave as an aside that it is moved by someone who actively supported the opponents and actually played for New South Wales in the State of Origin, but, all that aside, it is good that the opponents also— The PRESIDENT: Order, Senator Macdonald. A point of order, Senator Lazarus? Senator Lazarus: It is on relevance. What relevance does that have to the motion, honestly? The PRESIDENT: There is no point of order, Senator Lazarus, because Senator Macdonald sought leave of the Senate chamber, and he was granted leave for one minute to make a statement, so there is no issue on relevance. Senator Macdonald, you have 14 seconds left. Senator IAN MACDONALD: Thank you, Mr President. As I say, it is tremendous that even opponents are supporting the North Queensland Cowboys, and I appreciate that, but I would ask Senator Lazarus to consider removing paragraph (d) completely. The PRESIDENT: Before I call you, Senator Lazarus, I will just clarify. I did ask whether there was any objection to the motion, as amended, being taken as formal. That is as far as we got. Is there any objection to that motion, as amended, being taken as formal? There being none, Senator Lazarus, I call you now to move your motion formally.
