Order! On both sides. In relation to these points of order there is another opportunity, if you feel as though you have been misrepresented or if you feel as though matters have not been said to your satisfaction, to raise them elsewhere.

Honourable senators interjecting—

Order, Senator Wong! Order! On both sides. Points of order of this nature are not necessarily relevant to question time. Points of order should be about the actual conduct of question time. Could I ask all senators to respect each other in this place and to not use labels, names or innuendos. It would help everyone, and it is probably befitting of the position of being a senator. Senator Whish-Wilson, in the same spirit that I asked Senator Bernardi, if you feel as though you have said anything that is unparliamentary, I would ask you to withdraw. Order! Senator Heffernan, I am dealing with another matter at the moment.
