Senator Faulkner, that is one of the reasons I made the comment, and I welcomed the intervention by Senator Fifield, that clearly, when a person stands to take a point of order, they should nominate that it is a point of order. It assists both the timekeeper and me, because sometimes people rise to their feet and it has nothing to do with a point of order whatsoever. Senator Fifield, if that did happen to you today—and I have no doubt that it did, based on what you have said—it should not have happened and we will take steps to ensure that it does not happen again.
