Mr Deputy President, on the point of order. There was an allegation made, not against Senator Joyce but against the whole of the National Party, that they were in the pockets of the mining industry. That is offensive, it is untrue and it is unparliamentary. Unless the leader of the Greens can substantiate that motion, I ask you to ask him to withdraw it.
