Labour panel rivalry
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.

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

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.
