House debates Questions without Notice

Carbon Pricing

Mrs Bronwyn Bishop

Mrs Bronwyn Bishop Mackellar, Liberal Party, Shadow Minister for Seniors

Mr Speaker, on a point of order: the question is out of order in that in contravention of standing order 100 it invites inferences, imputations and insults about the people who are in the rally today who are defenceless to defend themselves. Quite properly, the answer is in fact showing that the question is out of order in the first place, and indeed the member for Isaacs earlier in the chamber said across the chamber to me, ‘How could you associate with those people?’ The implications and the insults that are coming from that side of the House and the scare campaign means that the minister should be sat down.
