I move:

That Senator Conroy be suspended from the Senate for the remainder of the day.

Stephen Parry (President) Share this | Link to this | Hansard source

Senator Conroy, you have an opportunity to make an explanation or to apologise. Then, I can put the vote, if I decide to put the vote.

Thank you, Senator Conroy, and I expect your behaviour to be within the standing orders for the remainder of question time. I accept the apology, and I will not put the motion. Thank you, Leader of the Government in the Senate.
