I will, Mr Deputy President. I understand that in the argy-bargy of politics sometimes injustices are done, but that does not excuse outright false and misleading statements being made in this chamber. So I ask you, Mr Deputy President, and I also invite the respective senators, to review their mendacious statements and, in the case of the respective senators, do the honourable thing: withdraw and apologise for them. If they do not, I would ask you, Mr Deputy President, to review them and take the appropriate action.
