Mr President, I refer you to standing order 193, which says, amongst other things:

… all imputations of improper motives and all personal reflections on those Houses, members or officers—

and that includes the Senate—

shall be considered highly disorderly.

I know at times we allow wide latitude in these things, but this seems to be a motion that is directly contrary to standing order 193. I'd ask that perhaps you counsel Senator Hanson-Young about that.
