Labour panel rivalry

Summary

Leyden joked about priestly training and panel competition, suggesting some rivalry between himself and Craughwell on the labour panel. The Chair said it was irrelevant to the Order of Business.

One cannot beat priestly training, it is very good.

Senator Craughwell mystifies me sometimes. He came in on Tuesday seeking a debate, having had the Minister here that day on a Commencement matter on the emergency aeromedical support service, EAS. He then won his vote and had the debate and he is still not happy.

Comment on this

The Minister did not answer the questions that were put to him.

Order, please. We are not getting into that on the Order of Business.

Comment on this

The Leader and Senator Craughwell are both on the labour panel, as am I. There seems to be a little bit of competition with Senator Craughwell.

I do not know anything about that and it is not relevant to the Order of Business.
