The Manager of Opposition Business will resume his seat. Members on my left will cease interjecting. I am just going to say to members: we are more than halfway through question time, but a number of members have been ejected already. I can tell you that in this parliament there have been a number of repeat offenders. In fact of the total ejections, almost half are by seven people. I am giving fair warning now.

Mr Burke interjecting—

I do not need to hear from the Manager of Opposition Business—

Ms Husar interjecting—

and I do not need to hear from the member for Lindsay, who is once again warned. She cannot help herself. The Leader of the House makes an entirely valid point about the first part of the question, but the latter part of the question specifically asked whether the Prime Minister told constituents something and that part of the question is in order.
