Order, Senator Macdonald! I'm going to rule on this. On the first issue, there isn't an issue of direct relevance once the minister has concluded their answer. On the second issue that Senator Macdonald raised: there has always been some precedence and flexibility granted to leaders of government and opposition in this place, and I reflect that in my rulings. I will ask the leaders of parties across the crossbench, government and opposition to lead by example when it comes to interjections and disorderly behaviour. We have concluded, as far as I'm aware, that question, so I will move to Senator Brockman.
