I had placed the question. If anyone was paying attention, I had put the question that the Leader of the House was referring to, so I can now actually put the question to a vote, if you would like.

Mr Briggs interjecting—

Order! The member for Mayo can't learn, can he? No. I was going to indicate that the cross-chamber chat is inappropriate.

Mr Dutton interjecting—

Order, the member for Dickson! Having just spoken fairly bluntly to the member for Mayo, I thought perhaps I might have got a little bit of respect for the chair. The member for Dickson has a valid point, but he is not assisting and I just point that out.

The question before the chair is that the motion moved by the Manager of Opposition Business be agreed to.
