House debates Questions without Notice

Building the Education Revolution Program

Wednesday, 16 September 2009 House of Representatives

Harry Jenkins

Harry Jenkins Speaker

2:31 pm

The member for Grey will resume his seat. It is fairly disingenuous to indicate that, under the standing orders, the member is able to stand on his feet and argue a case. That is not the purpose of the point of order. To those who are brave outside this chamber in comments about conduct and who have not offered submissions about it, I simply say that they should tread carefully. We have all collectively—those of us who were not elected at the last election—allowed a situation to develop where we on different days have different opinions about what should be done, but I caution the member for Grey for following the bad habits of others. The Deputy Prime Minister is responding to the question.
