Yes. This is what he had to say about Senator Conroy’s computer being photographed in the committee hearing showing that he was sending questions to a government member of the committee. He was a witness—not just a senator or a minister, but a witness—scripting questions. Where is the integrity in this? If the shoe were on the other foot today and the government were the opposition, they would not be supporting one of their own senators going before the Privileges Committee. I can assure you of that.
