Senator WHISH-WILSON (Tasmania) (17:21): I seek leave to make a short statement. Leave granted. Senator WHISH-WILSON: I think that's seven times now we've heard the same spiel from the government.

It's getting a little bit tiresome. Seriously, if we're going to get the same contribution from the government every time someone is requesting an OPD, individual senators should consider whether the government is denied leave for the same crappy spiel. The PRESIDENT: The question is that general business notice of motion No. 273, standing in the name of Senator Hume and moved by Senator Askew, be agreed to.
