Which words were they? I didn't call her a liar. I said she lied.

The CHAIR: Nevertheless, I'm asking you in the spirit of good debate to withdraw the comment.

I didn't actually refer to her as a liar, even though I think she probably is. I said she lied.

The CHAIR: Senator Hanson-Young, this is not a debating point. I am asking you to withdraw those comments.

I would like a ruling on this, because I did not call her a liar. I said she lied to the Australian people.

The CHAIR: Senator Hanson-Young, as Chair I am asking you to withdraw those comments. Is there a further point of order?
