Senator BRANDIS (Queensland—Attorney-General, Vice-President of the Executive Council and Leader of the Government in the Senate) (14:36): Senator Hinch, that's just wrong. There has been no such debate in the government party room or in the Liberal party room. There has been no discussion of Senator Smith's bill or of Senator Paterson's bill in the government party room or in the Liberal party room. Senator Hinch, might I remind you that, when it comes to the removal of discrimination against gay people in this country, my side of politics has taken the lead on many significant occasions both in state parliaments and in this parliament. The PRESIDENT: A final supplementary question, Senator Hinch. Senator Hinch: Mr President, unlike in the other place, we get these time-wasting supplementary questions, especially dorothy dixers from the government side. I'll forfeit that option in protest.
