Mr Speaker, I rise on a point of order. On the question of disorder and unparliamentary conduct, the minister just gestured at the opposition and said, ‘You say that,’ referring to his statement that there are people unnamed who somehow believe that overcrowded housing justifies the rape of a child. No member of the opposition has ever or would ever say something like that. That implication ought to be withdrawn. It is a disgrace.
