President, on a point of order, I wonder if you could take some time post question time to reconsider your ruling on the use of the word 'arrogant'. My submission to you would be that that is a word that has been used quite regularly in this place, and asking Senator Watt to withdraw 'arrogant' in relation to Mr Dutton probably is not consistent with precedent. I know that Senator McGrath might not agree with Senator Watt, but that's a different issue. I wonder if you could consider that and perhaps respond later in the day or tomorrow.
