Senator SINODINOS (New South Wales—Assistant Treasurer) (14:35): If there is a particular question that the opposition want to ask me, they should ask it. Senator Kim Carr: Mr President— The PRESIDENT: Senator Sinodinos has sat down as his response to the question. Senator Kim Carr: The question directly related to the minister's responsibility in terms of regulation in regard to ASIC and the responsibilities of directors. It was specifically related to his responsibilities. For him to sit down in that way is clearly contemptuous. The PRESIDENT: That is a debating point at this moment because the minister has finished his answer and has sat down. Senator Ian Macdonald: Mr President, I want to respond to the point of order. The PRESIDENT: I have just ruled that there is no point of order. It is a debating point. Senator Ian Macdonald: Mr President, I will take another point of order. Does this mean we can ask a Labor senator about what he or she did at the doors of Parliament House well before they were in parliament? Is that relevant? The PRESIDENT: That is not a point of order.
