Martin Ferguson (Batman, Australian Labor Party, Shadow Minister for Primary Industries, Resources, Forestry and Tourism) Share this | Hansard source

Mr Speaker, I rise on a point of order. As the minister’s shadow, I think he should be given a fair hearing. I draw your attention to the government whip who is conducting a ballot during question time. I refer to your previous ruling that the opposition whip was not to move around during question time. I ask you to apply the same ruling to the government whip so as to ensure that the minister gets a fair hearing.
