I remind senators that the question may be put on any proposal at the request of any senator. There being none, I'll move on.

Mr President, I have a point of order.

Senator Davey, I assume you are one of many who would like to bring my attention to Senator Thorpe on the remote system.

Yes, it's the use of props and slogans in the chamber. Effectively she is in the chamber. She is using props and slogans, and that is against the standing orders.

Senator Thorpe, I have previously ruled and discussed with those appearing remotely that there should be no slogans or other props used whilst senators are appearing remotely. I ask you to remove the props and slogans. The flag, of course, is appropriate. That has been allowed by all participating senators.
