Order! Senator Evans, resume your seat. Senator Abetz and Senator Evans, it is disorderly for comments to be going backwards and forwards across this chamber during question time. Senator Abetz, I have been very tolerant of your interjections over a long period of time and I am also tolerant of some of the responses. I would ask senators to act in an orderly manner in this chamber. The questioner is entitled to be heard when asking the question. The responder is entitled to be heard, without interjection, when responding—and that also includes help from the chorus that might be in the background.
