I had a number of points to make on the guillotine, but Senator Marie-Louise O'Donnell has made them all very eloquently so I will be brief. If someone wants to use the additional minute and a half allocated to me, they are very welcome to do so.

I cannot believe that the Leader is attempting to guillotine the Judicial Appointments Commission Bill. I know it is not his way of doing business or that of his colleagues. This has been imposed on him and I understand the situation he is in, but it is appalling. My party will oppose it vigorously. In the unlikely event that the Leader's proposal to guillotine this unnecessary Bill, a Bill which is not urgent, is successful then we will take other avenues to disrupt other legislation in this House.

Tell us.

The bully boys are out. The bully boys are back. Long live the Progressive Democrats. The Progressive Democrats are back.

Settle down, Senator Wilson.

Sit down and be quiet.

Kick them out.

Will Senator Wilson yield for 30 seconds?

Senator Wilson, without interruption. He has possession.

He has just yielded.

Sit down.

You have already-----

He said he would yield 30 seconds, as allowed under Standing Orders. Can I point out one thing?

The Senator has already spoken for double his time.

I will point out one thing. The guillotine was used for the Heritage Act, an Act that was so flawed it was never commenced.

The cash for ash scandal happened in Northern Ireland. I hope this Bill is not a grants for votes scandal.

Thank you Senator. Order now.
