Before I call the member for Herbert, if members could just pause for a second, I want to address some remarks to the member for Griffith. During the minister for immigration's answer it was very loud in the chamber, and I was attempting to listen to some interjections. I have consulted with the Clerk and I want to say to the member for Griffith—and I do not want her to be shocked—that I think she had a valid point of order, and ministers will direct their remarks through the chair.
