The member for Whitlam will leave under 94(a).

The member for Whitlam then left the chamber.

The Leader of the House will resume his seat for a second. I've made very clear my need to hear the Leader of the House and the Manager of Opposition Business. Members interjecting wildly make that an impossible task. I've said this on a number of occasions. I'm now saying to the House: don't expect to be warned and don't expect to be thrown out under 94(a) if you interject. Members who have a track record in this regard can expect more severe penalties. I want to hear the point of order from the Leader of the House because I presume that the Manager of Opposition Business actually wants me to consider his question.
