00:28What else would I be talking about, Deputy President?

00:42Because if this is about the dress code, she is disrespecting her faith.

00:48She is disrespecting the Muslims out there, Muslim Australians.

01:06Senator Payman, resume your seat.

01:10It is extremely racist and unsafe.

01:14And I would like you to reconsider your earlier ruling,

01:18that it is not appropriate in this Senate to draw attention to a religion

01:22that this person does not even subscribe to.

01:29I would like you to review your earlier ruling.

01:45or risk suspension.
