Madam Speaker, I rise on a point of order. I refer to a new standing order which was introduced after the election, for which currently there is no precedent. Under the amendment to standing order 68:
If a Member has given a personal explanation to correct a misrepresentation and another Member subsequently repeats the matter complained of, the Speaker may intervene.
The Minister for Health is now precisely providing information which the member for Jagajaga has previously explained to the House is false. And I do ask you, on that basis, to intervene.
