The Minister for Foreign Affairs will resume her seat. The member for Watson will resume his seat. I have a matter I am going to deal with. The level of interjections is far too high, and I do not need interjections on my right when I making a ruling, whether that was the member for Dobell or the member for Solomon.

Mr Conroy interjecting—

The minister will resume her seat. On cue the member for Chifley interjects again—no, the member for Charlton, I should say, interjects again. The level of interjections is too high. It is disorderly, and it does this House no justice at all. There are many people interjecting far too often. The member for Charlton can leave under 94(a). The member for Watson had a point of order? No.
