Thank you, Minister. That was a truly disgraceful response—

Opposition senators interjecting—

when the minister was on her feet. No. Senators on my left! Order! You may joke to and from and across the chamber; you don't joke with me. That was disorderly conduct by those on my left when the minister was responding, and you will come to order. I am not in a yelling competition with the whole of the opposition. Senator Paterson, second supplementary.
