Senator ABETZ (Tasmania—Leader of the Opposition in the Senate) (13:52): by leave—I am delighted to announce that Senator Helen Kroger has been elected as Chief Opposition Whip in the Senate and that Senator Judith Adams has been re-elected as the Deputy Opposition Whip in the Senate. Senator Bob Brown: Mr President, I rise on a point of order. I ask that you look at the Hansard of this morning's proceedings and inform the Senate whether or not all was in order during the ballot under the control of the Clerk. The PRESIDENT: Senator Bob Brown, I hear your point of order but I am not sure what you are asking me to review. Senator Bob Brown: Mr President, during the Clerk's presiding for the ballot for your position this morning, there were a lot of interjections and a lot of noise in the chamber. I ask you to look at that because I believe that it ought to be proper behaviour for this chamber to not interrupt the Clerk and to hear her in the decency of silence. I would ask you to look at that and report back to the chamber. The PRESIDENT: I will look at that, Senator Bob Brown.
