Penny Wong (SA, Australian Labor Party, Leader of the Opposition in the Senate) Share this | Hansard source

Mr Temporary Chairman, on the point of order: as Senator Rhiannon would recall, I was happy to withdraw a not dissimilar remark yesterday, I think, but I actually think Senator Collins was not referencing you but your colleagues in the New South Wales Greens.

An honourable senator interjecting—

That may or may not be so. I am just saying, in terms of the standing orders, the reference, as I understood—and I might have misheard—was not in relation to you.

The TEMPORARY CHAIRMAN: Senator Wong, there was no reflection on that occasion. It was Senator Rhiannon and the Stalinists. But, in the earlier contribution, it was touch and go.
