Mr Speaker, I rise on a point of order. This debate is being degraded by the manner in which it is being pursued. An allegation that a serious issue which has health impacts and which has been fully researched—and the saving of lives has been evidenced—being characterised in this way by the minister for health imputing that all members of the opposition are indifferent to or support illegal drug use in Australia is contemptuous of this House.
