Senator Shoebridge, resume your seat. Senator Scarr, I will come to you. I indicated to the Senate that one of the conventions in this place has been always generous towards senators who miss votes or who miss a call. We often recommit votes. Now, I did ask. I did seek leave. I am asking you, Senator Shoebridge, to withdraw the comment that you made in relation to me, which was disrespectful.
