Anthony Albanese (Grayndler, Australian Labor Party, Leader of the House) Share this | Hansard source

Madam Deputy Speaker, I rise on a point of order. The standing orders and House of Representatives Practice are very clear about casting aspersions upon members of parliament and reflecting on members of parliament. The question that was just raised by the Manager of Opposition Business attempted very clearly to cast an aspersion on every single member of the Labor Party caucus on this side and it should be ruled out of order. It is not in order to come in and just do general sprays like that under parliamentary privilege, particularly when this member will not say what he knows about James Ashby.
