Yes. I would ask then that you have a look at this, and I would ask that the President have a look at your ruling on this, because this opens up Pandora's box in this place if people can use terms such as 'hatred' against a senator. That is unparliamentary language, it is clearly against standing orders, and you must, Chair, operate under standing orders. If you are not prepared to operate under standing orders, I would then ask the President to have a look at this decision that you have just made.

The TEMPORARY CHAIR: Thank you, Senator Cameron. I will bring it to the President's attention and come back to the Senate if required.
