Senator CONROY (Minister for Broadband, Communications and the Digital Economy) (8:50 PM) —Senator Joyce—and I know Senator Heffernan keeps interjecting from afar—there is only one problem; this is your bill, which is actually unamended. This is your bill that you tabled, and we have not changed it. I do not mind Senator Milne having a go because Senator Milne would have raised this no matter who was standing here moving this bill. I absolutely understand. Senator Joyce, Senator Heffernan and Senator Boswell are muttering up the back about what an evil plot this is. It is your bill: you tabled it, you moved it. It was your bill to start with, so if you have a problem you should have had the courage to stand up in your own party room when it was first—

Senator Joyce —Mr Temporary Chairman, on a point of order: the statement was made ‘You did nothing about this,’ and I want to draw to your attention that there was quite an abundant amount being done about this.

The TEMPORARY CHAIRMAN (Senator Barnett)—There is no point of order.

Senator CONROY —I appreciate Senator Milne legitimately raising what would always have been the concerns of the Greens on this matter, but for those opposite to suddenly be decrying this is really a little entertaining.
