Senator Birmingham, I'm calling you to order.

Opposition senators interjecting—

Order on my left! Senator Birmingham, I—

Honourable senators interjecting—

Senator McGrath and Senator Gallagher! Order on both sides of the chamber! Senator Birmingham, you stood, I gave you the call, and then you didn't call a point of order. I asked you to sit. In future, when I ask you to sit, I should not have to ask a leader of a political party to sit three or four times. The question is that the question be put.
