Order, Senator Rhiannon. I have been fairly liberal in allowing the debate to range from the topic matter. You have consistently stayed off the key topic matter. You are speaking about the personal qualities or otherwise of former Senator Day. I have two concerns: firstly, you are not sticking to the subject matter, which the standing orders require, and, secondly, you are reflecting on a now member of the public who may not have the right to defend himself. Could I ask you to consider those comments as you continue your remarks, Senator Rhiannon.
