I seek leave to make a short statement.

Leave granted.

An opposition senator: How short?

I promise this will be shorter than last night! In an attempt at alliteration, I described the member for New England and Deputy Prime Minister in unparliamentary terms. I have made contact with his office so I can speak to him directly to apologise and on that basis I withdraw my comment. Thank you.
