Joe Hockey (North Sydney, Liberal Party, Manager of Opposition Business in the House) Share this | Hansard source

Mr Speaker, on a point of order: if every word that is uttered in this place needs to be withdrawn because it gets a reaction, we would find that Hansard would be blissfully blank. This is ridiculous. We are being asked to withdraw words when we do not know what the words were, you do not know what the words were and the Leader of the House does not even want to say what the words were. Surely we can get on with the business of the House and get over these stunts.
