Mr President, I rise on the point of order. Mr President, I am not sure whether that was an implied threat to you by Senator Parry in his rather agitated contribution. If so, it is totally inappropriate. I might say on the point of order that the minister was asked about whether the finance minister had investigated claimed waste and mismanagement and Senator Conroy was in the midst of refuting the suggestion that there was waste and mismanagement. He could not be more directly on point than that. Senator Parry clearly was not listening, and there is no point of order.
