I move:
That Senator Conroy be suspended from the Senate for the remainder of the day.
Stephen Parry President
Senator Conroy, you have an opportunity to make an explanation or to apologise. Then, I can put the vote, if I decide to put the vote.
Stephen Conroy Victoria, Australian Labor Party, Deputy Leader of the Opposition in the Senate
I apologise for anything that has offended you.
Stephen Parry President
Thank you, Senator Conroy, and I expect your behaviour to be within the standing orders for the remainder of question time. I accept the apology, and I will not put the motion. Thank you, Leader of the Government in the Senate.
