Mr President, I rise on a point of order. Senator Bob Carr just made an assertion by pointing his finger at somebody over here. None of us said that which he asserted and it would be absolutely outrageous if that were to be allowed to remain on the Hansard in the absence of those words being spoken. That is the way they might do business in the New South Wales parliament; they do not do it that way here.
