Mr Speaker, again, I refer you to the precedent that was established in 1957 by a question from Clyde Cameron, the then member for Hindmarsh. The opposition today asked a question that is almost exactly in the same terms, without argument and without debate, about an intention to inquire into a matter by the relevant committee, in this case the infrastructure committee. Clyde Cameron's question was in exactly the same terms as the one that we have put. Therefore I put it to you that it is within order and I ask you to call the member for Cunningham.
