We are now getting back into a situation whereby your position, as the custodian of the rules and proceedings of this House, is being drawn into question. It is not up to the Leader of the Opposition to object; it is up to you to determine, in accordance with the section of House of Representatives Practice that you read into Hansard prior to question time today, whether indeed language is parliamentary or not. It quite clearly is not parliamentary language. You indicated that. The Leader of the House defied you, as he did just then, in his response.
