Senator WONG (South Australia—Minister for Foreign Affairs and Leader of the Government in the Senate) (10:35): I'll make three points. Firstly, please don't play politics with veterans when you are the people who failed to fund veterans affairs so people were left waiting for their entitlements— Senator Gallagher: Forty-two thousand of them, actually. Senator WONG: Forty-two thousand veterans—let's remember that. Secondly, if the opposition want to give the government extra hours to pass this bill, the FMIA— Senator Duniam: Are you asking for them? Senator WONG: I'm about to. Thank you for that invitation. The Manager of Opposition Business in the Senate says, 'Are you asking for them?' We will move to have extra hours tonight to finish the defence bill and the FMIA bill with your support. If you are prepared to support it, we will move it. The third point is that, if the opposition are so keen to get on with the program and get to defence, they've got a couple of options. They can finish FMIA and get to defence. With that, I move: That the question be now put. Question agreed to. The PRESIDENT: The question is that the motion to suspend standing orders as moved by Senator Duniam be agreed to.
