Mr Deputy President, I wish to raise a point of order as well. During this morning's session it was pointed out that Senator Brown was in default of standing order 185(1). It was drawn to the attention of the Acting Deputy President at the time. Senator Brown walked in and out of the chamber, deliberately not acknowledging the President. I was wondering if you might refer this intolerable behaviour to the President and get the President to give a ruling, perhaps even to the extent of excluding the senator from the chamber until such time as he learns some manners.
