I have another point of order, Mr President. I do not think it is appropriate for senators to use spurious points of order to make claims against ministers that they have misled the Senate. I ask you to rule on that. It is of interest to find Senator Birmingham defending Senator Minchin. It is an occasion worth noting, but it is quite inappropriate for senators to abuse the time of the Senate by making points of order to make claims against ministers.
