I will seek leave at the end of my statement. It should also be said that Ms Giles operates a specialist practice and has acted for Miss Brittany Higgins and Senator Hanson-Young and presently acts for members of every political party in this chamber. That slur on her was irrational and unjustified and should also be withdrawn.

I call on you, Madam President, to review the senator's most recent statement, as I believe it reflected personally on me every bit as her allegations did last night after naming me yesterday, and it should be withdrawn as per standing orders as a reflection on a senator. I seek leave to table that letter.
