Mr President, I rise on a point of order. Twice Senator Vanstone has referred to Senator Lundy as parasitic. I am not usually very sensitive about these issues and neither is Senator Lundy, but, given that you are concerned about uproar in the chamber, it seems to me that that might explain why there is some uproar. You have twice chosen to ignore that. As I said, I do not generally raise points of order about descriptions, but you might think about how they might impact on behaviour in the chamber.
