A point of order: Senator Cox had the good grace to withdraw her comment, but can I ask that you check with the Clerk of the Senate as to whether she did impugn the motives of the Senate? We're politicians and we talk about political motives. I don't believe that should have been something that was withdrawn. I just ask if perhaps you can review that. It's a very clear political motivation. It wasn't a personal imputation; it was a political imputation.
