The member for Sydney. Now, before I call the next questioner, I'm just going to remind members: if you interject, you'll be ejected. I shouldn't have to do this every day. But I'm going to point out: whilst there's been a large number of ejections, they relate to a very small number of people who are continual offenders. Some of them are looking at me quite closely now. So let's have no surprise about this. Let's have none of the social media nonsense about, 'I got ejected because I was standing up for X, Y and Z.' You got ejected because you're breaking the standing orders. It's really, really clear. And, if you need me to start pointing out who's been ejected how many times, I'm happy to do it for the benefit of your electorates. I believe in a lot of transparency.
