Point of order: what Senator Cormann is alleging is incomprehensible—that Senator Wong, as a Chinese Australian, would perpetrate a smear on herself. That is what he is alleging here. Quite frankly, Mr President, I ask you to review your ruling. The questions the opposition have legitimately posed today about reports relating to foreign interference to a specific member of parliament have been extrapolated by Senator Cormann to the Labor Party committing a smear across all Chinese Australians, which would include Senator Wong. It is an incomprehensible and absurd position to assert that that does not apply to Senator Wong.
