Order! The member for Calwell will resume her seat. I simply say to the Leader of the Opposition—and I am not trying to deflect the blame from myself—that the member for Canning was on his feet and did interject while he was on his feet. I chose to ignore that and then saw that the member for Calwell had risen and gave her the call. Without trying to predict what is going to happen, I know that my crime is that I have been a bad director of the theatre here and of timing. But I gave the call to the member for Calwell in the flow of what I saw and I will hold by that call on this occasion.
