Mr Deputy President, I rise on a point of order. That is an outrageous proposition. There was no attempted slur on pensioners in this country. This is an attempt to verbal Senator Hutchins in relation to what he said. He was suggesting in a colourful way that there are certain senators here who are not going to be in this chamber for very long. I think everyone understood that. Therefore, there is no point of order.
