My point was that in his earlier remarks Senator Conroy, if I heard him correctly, did say that the member for Wentworth had brought the insurance industry to its knees and was involved in litigation to that end. That is getting very close to reflecting on the member, and that is certainly not permissible within the rules. But my particular point of order is: would you, Mr President, ask Senator Conroy to be relevant to the question about the adequate resources of ASIC to deal with the global financial crisis?
