I seek leave to make a short statement with regard to what just occurred.

In relation to your ruling when the Senate was considering general business notice of motion No. 649, I have had the opportunity to review the captions and I am of the firm view that there was a clear statement as to my motive in moving the motion. I will not repeat the words, but they are a clear breach of standing order 193(3), which states that 'all imputations of improper motives shall be considered highly disorderly.' I ask that you request Senator Chisholm to withdraw those words.
Sue Lines President
Thank you, Senator Nampijinpa Price. As I indicated to the chamber, on the request of Senator Canavan I will review the tape. I obviously haven't had a chance to do that yet, but I certainly note your point.
