The Acting Deputy President:

Senator Sterle, just before you resume your seat: Senator Ronaldson raised a point of order earlier in your contribution when he asked that you clarify some of your comments. I ruled at the time that that in itself was not a point of order and that I could not ask you to do that. But, on reflection, I think the comments that you made at the time were a reflection on Senator Ronaldson and I would now ask you to withdraw those remarks.
