As I said earlier, there have been many brave people who have been making comments outside the chamber about the conduct of the chamber. Many of them are people who have had greater tolerance from the chair than they perhaps deserved. I simply make the point that most of the chamber—except, now, a handful of exceptions—thought that this was an opportunity for them to have interjections out into the ether. The Prime Minister has been asked a question. Obviously it raised emotional responses from a lot of people. But that is something that members will have to learn to live with. The Prime Minister has the call to respond to the question.
