On the point of order, can I just say this: I have been invited as the President of the Senate, as has the Speaker of the other place, as have the Speaker and President of every other parliament in Australia, to be present at the special sitting of the Tasmanian parliament. As a Tasmanian senator, I am very pleased to go but, more importantly, I will be there representing the Senate, and I intend to do so. I will not accept from you, Senator Brown, reflections on my motives for going.
