The Acting Deputy President:

Thank you, Senator Evans. Senator Marshall, I was not in the chamber when Senator Bernardi made his comments. I did not catch the comments of Senator Bernardi that you are referring to. I have pulled up Senator Bernardi and he has withdrawn the statement with reference to the Prime Minister. I would ask you to reflect on what you said and, if you did make specific comments about Senator Bernardi and cast aspersions on him, to withdraw those specific aspersions regarding porky-pies and fibs, which I believe was your phrase.
