Senators, as you are aware, props are disorderly and out of place in this chamber. Today, during the Governor-General's speech, that behaviour was incredibly disorderly and disrespectful—particularly as it was on the opening of the 48th Parliament, which represents a pinnacle in our democracy. Senator Faruqi, you are a deputy leader. I expect you to show some leadership on behaviour in this chamber. I will take time to further consider this matter and will come back to the chamber.
