I did allow both points of order to stray into a debating point because this is clearly a sensitive issue—particularly on this particular day. I am going to refer this matter to the President because I think it does require consideration by the President. However, Senator Nampijinpa Price, in order not to set a precedent at this point, could I ask you to please finish your speech without the flag on your shoulders. That way, we do not—Senator McKenzie, I will address you directly: we do not want to set a precedent in this place that would have very unfortunate consequences for the future, and I think you know what I'm talking about.
