The member for North Sydney is warned because of his continuation way beyond the point of order. Fortunately for him, I was trying to get him to sit down and I did not exactly hear what he said, but I started to get the drift, and I do not think that that was very helpful. Because the member for North Sydney has not understood this when I have said it to him before, I would simply say that, in the crafting of the question, I think a lot of leeway was given about the question and the amount of argument and other matters that go to what the standing orders allow in questions. But I allowed that question, and I think that that needs to be recognised sometimes.
