Senator McKIM (Tasmania—Deputy Leader of the Australian Greens in the Senate and Australian Greens Whip) (19:14): If I could, on indulgence: if Senator Rennick is seeking leave to make a statement about a particular matter, I think it would be of assistance to the Senate if he could make clear, in just a short number of words, what the matter is, rather than just simply rising and saying he is seeking leave to make a statement, because, at the moment, I understand that's what he has said. The ACTING DEPUTY PRESIDENT: Thank you, Senator McKim. Senator Rennick actually did do that when he rose to speak. I'm reading the mood of the chamber and I'm going to give the call to Senator Rennick. Senator Wong interjecting— The ACTING DEPUTY PRESIDENT: Okay. He sought leave and Senator Hanson-Young said no. Senator Wong interjecting— The ACTING DEPUTY PRESIDENT: Senator Wong has the call.
