President, on a point of order and in defence of your position of President: Senator Wong is the first in this chamber to ask for respect to be shown to you as chair. You said, while Senator Wong was attempting to make her statement, that you had to give the call to Senator Canavan because he was on his feet with a point of order first, yet Senator Wong chose to ignore what you had said and move ahead with her motion. I ask you to call the point of order please, President.
