Mr President, on the point of order: Senator Cash is quoting directly from findings of the Heydon royal commission, as she indicated in her answer. The primary question which Senator Cash was asked included the words:

Do those examples—

that is, examples of behaviour discovered by the Heydon royal commission—

include the use of threatening conduct or language? What was that conduct or language?

She is being directly relevant; she is being carefully consistent with your statement this morning, Mr President; and she is merely acquainting the Senate with findings that have been made by the Heydon royal commission.
