I seek leave to make a short statement.

Leave granted.

Yesterday, in the course of asking me a question concerning the Honourable Dyson Heydon, and in the course of making an attack on Mr Heydon, Senator Collins uttered some words which I described as 'sleazy' and 'dishonest'. Although no objection was taken to my use of those words at the time, the President has since intimated to me that he would wish me to withdraw them. So I do.
