    "content": " Hon. Senators, I wish to bring to your attention that recently there have been concerning trends in the conduct of Senators during Plenary proceedings. Instances of lack of decorum during debate, divisions and disruptive actions, including use of mobile phones, have become increasingly common. I have on several occasions cautioned individual Senators on the need to maintain order during plenary proceedings, thereby necessitating me to address this matter substantively. As the custodian of parliamentary etiquette, it is my duty to emphasize the importance of maintaining decorum in the plenary. Hon. Senators, decorum in parliamentary proceedings is one of the cornerstones of a functional and effective legislature. Maintaining decorum in plenary ensures debates are conducted in a respectful, orderly and systematic manner, which not only upholds integrity and credibility of Parliament but also sets a positive example in the management of public affairs. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Director, Hansard and AudioServices, Senate."
