Mr President, just on a matter of order, I draw your attention to standing order 193(2), which states:

A senator shall not refer to the Queen, the Governor-General or the Governor of a state disrespectfully in debate, or for the purpose of influencing the Senate in its deliberations.

I hope you will just keep that in mind for the future debate we might hear later in the course of today's deliberations.
