Anthony Albanese (Grayndler, Australian Labor Party, Deputy Manager of Opposition Business in the House) Share this | Hansard source

Mr Speaker, I just draw your attention to the fact that page 33 of the Hansard of last Thursday does still record that motion as being carried by this House: ‘That that snivelling grub over there be not further heard.’ I draw your attention to page 294 of House of Representatives Practice, which makes it very clear that ‘a motion may not be brought forward which ... contains offensive or disorderly words’. The question to you, Mr Speaker, is: what action do you intend to take to ensure that that motion is rescinded and that that reflection on the entire dignity of this House does not remain as a permanent record of this parliament?
