Parliamentary Behaviour

I make the point to the member for Melbourne that, if he refers to the House of Representatives Practice, it makes it clear what is considered to be unparliamentary and what is not. Occupiers of the chair will call for withdrawal immediately when they are aware of unparliamentary language. If the occupier of the chair did not hear it, then the occupier has to rely on other members for that point.
