Mr Acting Deputy President, on the point of order: it is extremely unparliamentary to question the motives, as you have done, of senators in this place or of others. Those matters were dealt with exhaustively on the Privileges Committee, and I know that because I am a member of that committee. I ask Senator Macdonald to withdraw those accusations of improper motive. It is very straightforward.
