With respect, I am not totally sure that is a point of order. I understand the point the Senator made in the context of clarification. We can have political discussions. We will move on.
I will briefly make the point that it is a standard part of debate in these Houses to quote opposing political views. I am not sure that any bad faith was ascribed. However, for the avoidance of any doubt, I will say that Deputy Callaghan is a member of this committee and is held in the greatest of esteem, particularly in the context of serving her country, which is something that we, as a committee, and I am sure all its members, value greatly. She is held in the highest of esteem and no aspersions were cast on any comment she has made. She is entitled to hold any position on this issue.
