Mr Speaker, I—and I think some of my colleagues here—could not understand a couple of rulings you made today. I wonder whether you could circulate to us an explanation of the rulings you gave in ruling out the second part of the question from the member for Griffith and in your declining to accept the point of order from the member for Grayndler. I did not understand either ruling. I did not seek to dissent at the time because it would have disrupted question time. I wonder whether you could circulate to honourable members an explanation of the standing orders underlining those rulings. I do not expect you to do so now, Mr Speaker, although I would welcome it. If you could circulate it, I would appreciate it.
