President, I seek leave to raise a question with you.

Leave granted.

I would like to ask you, President, if you have had the opportunity to review the Hansard regarding the Assistant Minister for Education's comments yesterday and if you would amend your previous ruling. If you are not going to, I would like to understand why not? I would also like to register my disappointment that the comments from the Assistant Minister for Education were not ruled out of order at the time they were said. I am dismayed that the President has not apologised for the absence of a proper ruling.

Senator Nampijinpa Price, I undertook to review two motions yesterday. From memory I think it was 650 and 649. I concurred with the Clerk that 650 was appropriate and my response to that was appropriate. You then, I believe, sought for me to review 649. I subsequently did and I agreed that a withdrawal was in order by Senator Chisholm, and Senator Chisholm made that withdrawal last night.
