Seanad representation
Senator Norris raises a point of order about references to Senators’ constituencies; the Chair clarifies that Seanad Members do not represent geographical constituencies.
On a point of order, the Leader referred to Members' constituencies. I have mentioned to Senator Sean D. Barrett that it is rather curious that almost all Adjournment matters refer to geographical constituencies. The Leader has said he has noticed this too. My understanding is that Senators who are nominated through the panel system represent professional bodies and so on.

I mentioned "this House" and "the other House".
