Through you, Mr Deputy President: the senator should be invited to come back into this place and deal with the misrepresentations that have been made here tonight. I have only been here a year, but tonight's presentation was one of the most scurrilous abuses of the protection of this Senate I have seen since I have been here, in order to attack a person who is serving this government.

I will not take up time; it is late at night. But the senator needs to be urged, though you, Mr Deputy President, to go and check her facts; and to pay enough respect to that individual to come here and provide the truth on the floor of this Senate, rather than the false and misleading material that was just presented in her speech. I thank you for this opportunity.

Senate adjourned at 21:24
