In regard to the issue of plain packaging cigars, I was the only dissenting voice in this House yesterday with the Minister, Deputy Reilly.

Senator Leyden was not even here when the debate took place.

Senator Kelly is out of order in that regard.

He probably was in Buswells or somewhere else-----

On a point of order-----

-----but he comes in today to look at this passed.

I have called Senator Mooney on a point of order.

For the information of the House, Senator Leyden was on parliamentary duties as a member of the Joint Committee on European Union Affairs and was unable to be in the House. He apologised for same and I covered for him.

For the benefit of the House, Senator Mooney might tell Senator Leyden that I raised the issue here in the House yesterday with the Minister and I was the only dissenting voice.

I am aware Senator Kelly did and I established that as well.
