I won't withdraw anything I've just said—

The TEMPORARY CHAIR: Sorry, Senator Cameron—hang on a sec. Senator Xenophon, I'm advised that there is no point of order, but I do caution all senators with respect to the High Court or other legal proceedings.

Thanks. Obviously, I have been a bit interested in this issue that has just been raised. I didn't find it really difficult, Senator Xenophon, to actually rescind my citizenship. All I did was follow the rules, take the advice from the ALP national secretariat, be professional, make my application in duplicate to the foreign office and have my application acknowledged by the High Commission. I think it was about three months later—

The TEMPORARY CHAIR: It being 7.20 pm, the debate is interrupted.

Progress reported.
