Mr Acting Deputy President, on the point of order: I know you were in the chair, and Senator Macdonald may not have been listening, but you will have heard Senator Ronaldson, in speaking to this very document, talk about Mr Cheeseman on several occasions. In fact, I recall you actually asking him to withdraw some of his comments. This is a debate, and I am certainly entitled to address some of the issues raised by Senator Ronaldson. Senator Macdonald may not have been listening; that is often the case—we have seen it on many occasions.
