The question is that the closure motion as moved by Senator Gallagher be agreed to. Once again, we have advisers on the move. I said last time it was the last warning. I will ask the attendant to ask you to leave. It is a privilege for you to be in here and I expect you to adhere to the same rules as everyone else.

Stop bullying the staff.

Senator Birmingham?

A point of order, President. Senator Steele-John should withdraw that reflection upon the chair.

Sue Lines (President) Share this | Link to this | Hansard source

Senator Steele-John, I didn't hear the reflection, but I accept the advice from Senator Birmingham and I'm going to ask you to withdraw the comment.

I withdraw. Stop using your position to direct staff.

Sue Lines (President) Share this | Link to this | Hansard source

No. Senator Steele-John, I want an unequivocal withdrawal, no comment.

I withdraw.
