Point of order, Madam Temporary Chairman. I think that is a particularly cowardly reflection on my staff and I think that the Senator should withdraw it. He knows that is not the situation. It is cowardly and it should be withdrawn immediately. I do not mind engaging in banter across the table, but I think to mention staff is absolutely appalling and I am bitterly disappointed in Senator Conroy.
