The member for McEwen is reminded that the time when the Speaker is trying to make a response to a point of order is not the best time to try the chair’s patience. As far as I am concerned, I dealt with the unparliamentary or otherwise use of words in response to the member for Warringah’s point of order on the day. The member for O’Connor—who has some expertise in the area, I am tempted to say—has made the point about disruptive behaviour and I have some sympathy on this occasion, but I believe the fact that the matter finished at the point it did finishes it. I see a lot of movement in the chamber. I wonder if those people would remember events of the last parliament?
