I seek some clarification of that, please. In relation to your requirement that I not use the words ‘Howard government’ but only the word ‘government’, I must say that I have looked through House of Representatives Practice, as well as the standing orders, and can find no precedent or reference. Indeed, given its common usage, I am not sure what you just said makes any impact at all on my question. Again I ask why it is the word ‘Howard’ cannot be used before the word ‘government’ in a second reading amendment.
