Order! Minister Wong, please resume your seat. I remind the chamber that just a few minutes ago I had to stand to get order in this place. I have never had to do that before, and, Senator McKenzie, it was partly because of your constant, rude and disrespectful interjections. When Senator Birmingham was on his feet, the chamber listened in respectful silence, and the minute Senator Wong got to her feet, suddenly there were lots of interjections, primarily from you. You will listen in silence, or you can choose to leave the chamber. Minister Wong, please continue.
