Mr Acting Deputy President, I rise on a point of order. Senator Polley is paying no respect to this chamber and its standing orders—no respect at all. She comes in here and in her speech she talks about making attacks on people and then proceeds to do just that by not using people's correct titles. This is the third point of order I have taken in this 10-minute speech already, and we still have time to go. The standing orders clearly state that members of this place and the other place are to be referred to by their correct titles and not some made-up name that Senator Polley might like to utilise.
