Senator ABETZ (Tasmania—Leader of the Opposition in the Senate) (19:30): Mr President, now that you are in the chamber: Senator Carr scooted around all aspects of what he said during question time today. Those parts that he quoted are absolutely correct. What he did not quote to you, Mr President, are these words: It is a remarkable feat that you think that drowning people at sea is a question of respecting human rights. That is a matter which surely must be withdrawn. The PRESIDENT: Senator Abetz, this was referred, as you know, without my presence in the chamber before. The matter has been referred. The Hansard will be looked at closely and I certainly intend to come back with a statement. Senator Carr has exercised his right to put his view. I am not making a judgment one way or the other. I will look at the process and, as you asked for the matter to be referred, the matter is now being taken into consideration. I certainly will be dealing with it. Senator ABETZ: I thank you, Mr President, and just for the record I indicate that I did not raise this matter during the adjournment debate but before.
