No, Mr Deputy President. I am seeking leave of the Senate for Senator Evans to make a statement withdrawing and apologising to the person on whom, the President clearly ruled this morning, Senator Evans had made a personal reflection. That was the President’s comment this morning. So I seek leave for the Senate to give Senator Evans an opportunity to withdraw and apologise.
