Perhaps the senator could settle down. This is the Senate, a chamber of the federal parliament. To be shouting in that way and engaging in personal abuse of me is hardly going to assist the debate. I respect one thing about you, Senator: you have consistently opposed a carbon price, unlike most of your colleagues. I understand that you do not like the legislation that is being voted on. But we could undertake this debate with some measure of civility around content.
