I make two points. I don't have the advantage of having the statements in front of me to which Senator McCarthy is referring. Certainly one would always wish, in a workplace and more broadly, that if, concerns need to be raised in relation to behaviours or other matters, then they can be raised in an appropriate way without fear or, frankly, favour. I would make that observation. Secondly, again, not having seen the statements to which Senator McCarthy has referred, I can say that as sentient adults, by and large, in this place, we all face the consequences of our actions.
