Mr Deputy Speaker, on a point of order on relevance again. As the shadow minister already indicated in his earlier comments, the bill that deals with ‘unlawfulness’, as the member puts it, is not currently before the House. That is the registration and accreditation bill. If the member for Dickson has nothing more to say on what are momentous changes for nurses and midwives across the country then he should sit down. He is required to be relevant to the bill.
