The PRESIDENT (3:11 PM) —During debate in the Senate on 6 October 2005, Senator Ian Campbell asked the Acting Deputy President, Senator Watson, to refer to me certain remarks by Senator Bob Brown, to determine whether they contravened the prohibition in standing order 193(1) on reflections on votes of the Senate.

It is clear in the Hansard transcript that Senator Bob Brown’s remarks were to the effect that he did not understand why Senator Fielding had voted as he did on certain matters. The remarks were implicitly critical of Senator Fielding, but did not reflect on votes of the Senate.
