The only reason I did not sit the Prime Minister down through that wall of interjections was that I am not going to continually interrupt the House. There was a wall of interjections, mostly from members who are warned every day. I am not going to repeatedly warn through this day. I know passions are running high, but the members for Griffith, Adelaide, Wakefield and Ballarat are warned. If they continue behaving in that fashion, they will be out of question time straightaway.
