Well, Acting Deputy President, I don't believe that I've impugned Senator Hanson's motivations, if that's the point of order. I simply stated a fact. On that basis, I'm going to ask respectfully, Acting Deputy President, if you would consult with the President on this. If it's the President's ruling once she has reviewed the Hansard, I will withdraw. But I don't believe, on the basis of what I said, that there is a necessity for me to withdraw, given Senator Hanson has not explained what standing order she believes I've contravened. I will ask that you consult with the President on that, please, Acting Deputy President.
