Senator WONG (South Australia—Minister for Foreign Affairs and Leader of the Government in the Senate) (14:05): As a matter of principle, we all have a responsibility to act appropriately to one another. There are obviously times when all of us might fall short on that. We have seen in this place— Honourable senators interjecting— The PRESIDENT: Senator Birmingham and Senator Watt. Order! Minister Wong, please continue. Senator WONG: Thank you, President. We've seen in this place, at times, people behaving in ways which perhaps, in hindsight, they might think was unwise. Certainly, there's been a fair degree of shouting and aggression at times in this chamber. I'd invite people to recall how— Senator Cash interjecting— Senator WONG: I was coming to that. That is a reasonable proposition, Senator Cash. The PRESIDENT: Minister Wong, please resume your seat. Senator Cash and Senator Ruston, I have already lost count, in the first few minutes of question time, of how many times I have called you to order—and Senator McGrath. When I call the chamber to order it includes every senator in this place. Minister Wong, please continue. Senator WONG: I am trying to respond to a serious question in a serious way. We should all aspire to those standards to behave— (Time expired) Senator Ruston interjecting— The PRESIDENT: Senator Ruston, I must have called you about seven times. I am not going to go for an hour calling you to order. I am asking senators to respect my order, and that includes you, and it includes you to be respectful and silent.
