Division
Mathias Cormann These bills are being introduced together. After debate on the motion for the second reading has been adjourned, I shall move a motion to have the bills listed separately on the _Notice Paper_. I move: That these bills may proceed without formalities, may be taken together and be now read a first time. _(Quorum formed)_ Question agreed to. Bills read a first time. I seek leave to move a motion to exempt these bills from the bills cut-off order. Leave not granted. Sam Dastyari You get nothing! Mathias Cormann Pursuant to contingent notice standing in the name of the Leader of the Government in the Senate, I move: That so much of the standing orders be suspended as would prevent the moving of a motion to provide for the consideration of a matter, namely, a motion to give precedence to a motion to exempt these bills from the bills cut-off order. What is happening here is one massive filibuster. This is not even in relation to a piece of legislation that Labor has any concerns about. What Labor is doing in this chamber today—we heard Senator Dastyari yell across the chamber, 'You get nothing!'—is playing games. This is Labor not making judgements about what is in the public interest. This is a bill that I suspect Labor might even end up not opposing. I think everyone across Australia well understands what is happening here. We have the union politics and student politics brought back into the chamber by some very juvenile people on the Labor side. I commend to the Senate to support this suspension. Doug Cameron I think that is the most pathetic argument—if you could even call it an argument—as to why the proper process in this place should not go ahead. This is a government that is an absolute chaos. They are an absolute rabble. Really, they should not bring the rabble that is their party room into this place, because that is what this is. They as a government just do not what is going on from day to day. To say that we should not follow process on this,
