• 22 Oct 2013 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Mine is an issue of addressing the Constitution on the failure of the system.

Indeed, the Government has demonstrated total failure; one, with regard to orders from this House to the Government; and, two, with regard to orders seeking information from the Government.
