Senator Faruqi, please resume your seat. I've asked you to resume your seat.

Honourable senators interjecting—

Senator Faruqi, I've asked you to resume your seat. This debate will be heard in respectful silence.

No, Senator Canavan! If you can't do that, leave the chamber. There will be no interjections and no comments from anywhere. I want to be very clear about that. When I request a senator to sit down, Senator Faruqi, that's exactly what you do. Senator Canavan, when I say to you 'no interjections', that is exactly what I mean. Your leader has just been on her feet saying, 'We support what the President does.' That means, when I require you to be quiet, you are quiet. Senator Faruqi, please continue.
