Mr President, I rise on a point of order. Senator Cormann has developed the habit of asking a question and then shouting at the minister constantly, particularly Senator Wong. While I am not one to be precious about the odd interjection, this is ridiculous—he continually shouts at the minister while she is trying to give her answers. I would ask you to call him to order. As I say, while I support humorous or effective interjections, merely trying to shout down the minister constantly is just bullyboy behaviour.
