Senator Roberts, before you conclude, I want to draw your attention to standing order 193(2) of the Senate, which directs:

A senator shall not refer to the King, the Governor-General or the Governor of a state disrespectfully in debate …

I would ask you to reflect on your comments with regard to the Governor-General and consider whether you wish to withdraw them.
