I'm not making an observation on either that question or that answer. I am just providing a pre-emptive warning to the Senate that the standing orders are very strict when it comes to reflections or imputations on members of either house. We have let the issue of imputation slip a little more generally, but on that issue I think it needs to be applied strictly. It can be avoided through the careful wording of questions and answers.
