I raise a point of order, Mr President, with regard to the behaviour of a senator who, just before the division, appeared to be making a threat to the Manager of Government Business in the Senate and, in a very menacing way, said, ‘This will be noted.’ This suggests to me that the day will be spent now on quorums and stupid points of order. Mr President, could you rule, perhaps on reflection, on whether the words of the senator were in fact an infringement of the rules.
