Mr Deputy President, I rise on a point of order. I understand that Senator Bernardi is uncomfortable defending anybody who has the name 'Malcolm', but could you please direct him to debate the issues in the questions that were asked. Mr Thomson, to whom he is now referring, did not come up in any way, shape or form in question time. I would ask you to bring him back to trying to defend Mr Brough.
