Senator Wong! Resume your seat, Senator McKenzie. When I call the chamber to order and then ask the minister to continue with her answer, I do not expect everyone in the chamber to start shouting and yelling out across the chamber. It is disorderly. The minister needs respect, and I certainly need respect when I call you to order. Minister, do you wish—resume your seat, Senator McKenzie, please.

Senator McGrath, I have just finished asking for respect.

Senator McGrath interjecting—

I beg your pardon? Seriously! Senator McKenzie.
