The member for Sturt will resume his place. He will remember that my ruling on that occasion was on the Prime Minister of the time and I am being consistent. At that time, the House indicated to me that they might have had a different view. A very learned member of the crossbenches took me to task on that occasion, and I paid attention to his assertions.
