Slade Brockman (WA, Deputy-President) | Hansard source

As I said at the time, I was momentarily distracted and did not hear exactly what Senator Henderson said. I asked her to withdraw, on the request of the minister. Senator Henderson withdrew, as she should have. I will move it on from there. I will, however, refer the matter to the President, who happens to be in the chamber at this time, and get a definitive ruling on the use of language. But my belief is that what just occurred is as the Senate should operate. Senator O'Neill, are you seeking the call?
