The actions of the member for New England and his penchant for baseless and unproven accusations have again—it seems to me—breached parliamentary privilege. I ask you, Speaker, to review Hansard and the Sky News transcript and the statement by Ms Rinehart and consider whether there is a prima facie case of a breach of privilege, given that the statement by the member for New England was clearly made with malicious intent. I am happy to table these documents which might help you in your deliberations.
