Okay. So 26 times in her time in this Senate Senator Hanson-Young has been required to withdraw comments—and they're only the ones that were heard and were drawn to the attention of the chair. I haven't been asked to withdraw a comment at any time since I've been in here in this Senate.

An honourable senator interjecting—

Yes; if you don't hear it, you can't very well withdraw it, can you? On the behaviour we are talking about here, first of all, what Senator Di Natale has mentioned is nothing but hyperbole. He won't say what he is talking about that leads to those accusations. Senator Hanson-Young won't say what she thinks she did say—because, clearly, she did say something. If the issue is really all about what was said outside the chamber, why on earth are we talking about it here?
