Christopher Pyne (Sturt, Liberal Party, Shadow Minister for Education, Apprenticeships and Training) Share this | Hansard source

On the point of order, Mr Speaker, and on the ruling you have just made, I wish to clarify that because that is a departure from the standing orders—with great respect to your ruling. Standing order 101(b) says:

… allow supplementary questions to be asked to clarify an answer to a question asked during Question Time …

That is why the Leader of the Opposition couched his supplementary question in reference to the Prime Minister's answer that she has given to the member for Solomon. As a consequence, I would put it to you that it is very much in order.
