That's all right, Mr President. I've on occasions accused the Greens of hypocrisy, and I've certainly today accused Senator Wong of hypocrisy, so I can let you get away with that, Senator Di Natale.

It does depend upon all elements of the parliament—government, crossbench and opposition—displaying integrity. The government has displayed integrity on this. Nobody forced Mr Joyce to out himself in the way he did. Nobody forced Senator Canavan to out himself in the way he did. Nobody forced Senator Waters or Senator Ludlam to out themselves in the way they did. There is one element of this chamber that is not displaying integrity, and that is the opposition. (Time expired)
