Upper House MP Nick Goiran is accused of acting selfishly and wasting Parliament's with a four-day speech opposing planned surrogacy law changes.

But Mr Goiran is showing no signs of slowing down, and said he intended to keep going to give MPs time to read a surrogacy review only just published by the Government, before the bill comes to a vote.

"The purpose is to expose the reprehensible conduct of the Government with this bill," Mr Goiran said.Asked how long he intended to keep speaking, Mr Goiran said the Government had 10 weeks to consider the surrogacy report, and MPs should get the same. "[MPs] have had approximately 10 days. I think it is utterly reasonable for the Members of Parliament to have just as long," he said.Liberal leader Mike Nahan came to Mr Goiran's defence, saying the MP was following his beliefs.
