Tony Smith Speaker

The Deputy Prime Minister will resume his seat. If members were to look back several months ago on language that was used whilst it was being quoted, a quote does not, of itself, obviate the need for proper parliamentary language. This matter has been addressed in the Senate. I am practical on the matter, but the Deputy Prime Minister has now strayed beyond what is acceptable.
