According to the standing orders, senators must attend in person. There is a resolution of the Senate, which was adopted on 13 May 2021, which gives senators the right to appear remotely but only under circumstances that enable them to participate in Senate proceedings while they are prevented from physically attending the Senate because of COVID-19-related travel restrictions, quarantine requirements or personal health requirements. I just ask Senator Hanson to elaborate on whether or not she meets that requirement. Otherwise I ask that she not be heard.
