Senator Abetz, I did not hear anything at all. One of the difficulties that I have expressed this afternoon—and it has been not just been one side of the chamber but from both sides—is the constant interjection, which has made it very difficult—

Senator Joyce! It has made it difficult to hear what some people are saying in this chamber, and that is not fair to either the person who has asked the question or the person who is answering the question. Senator Abetz has raised an issue with me now and there was no way that I heard what was said, or purportedly said, in the chamber.
