We seem to have come to a place where senators' behaviour in this place and beyond is designed to cause outrage, is designed to gain media attention and so often does not reflect well on this chamber and on what Australians expect of us, having been sent here. We have enormous privilege being here. We have, legally, absolute privilege in this place, and that should be exercised with a degree of responsibility and respect for the other.
