Yesterday in this chamber, while speaking on the Parliamentary Entitlements Legislation Amendment Bill 2014 and the importance of integrity, I made reference to a dishonest campaign run by the former member for Corangamite. The Second Deputy Speaker asked me to withdraw these comments on the basis that I was impugning a member. I initially objected by reason that the person to whom I was referring was a former member and not a member. In light of standing order 90, I ask for your guidance on this matter.
