Senator DI NATALE (Victoria—Leader of the Australian Greens) (16:13): I seek leave to make a short statement. The PRESIDENT: Leave is granted for one minute. Senator DI NATALE: I seek leave to make a statement for five minutes. The PRESIDENT: Leave is granted for one minute. Senator DI NATALE: I move: That so much of the standing orders be suspended as would prevent me from giving a five-minute statement. The PRESIDENT: I will take advice from the Clerk in respect of that motion. Senator Di Natale, the only motions to suspend standing orders that are debated during a debate time-limited by standing order 142 relate to that. We have done that twice and I have previously advised the chamber that I will not take any further suspensions of standing orders because the Senate has determined to deal with these matters first. So I will put your motion to suspend standing orders. Senator Di Natale: Point of order. We had contributions from the leader of the government in the Senate and the Leader of the Opposition in the Senate. They were given fair time to debate— The PRESIDENT: Senator Di Natale, please resume your seat. You know it's not my ruling. You sought leave of the chamber. You were granted leave for one minute. I will now put your motion to suspend standing orders if you wish. The question is that so much of standing orders be suspended so as to allow Senator Di Natale to make a statement of no more than five minutes. The PRESIDENT: We shall now return to dealing with the amendments.
