I have given a statement. I refer the member to the statement I made at the beginning of question time and, in particular, to page 499 of House of Representatives Practice. I will reiterate the words. It says:

The determination as to whether words used in the House are offensive or disorderly rests with the Chair, and the Chair’s judgment depends on the nature of the word and the context in which it is used.
