Mr Speaker, it's a serious question to you. Mr Speaker, the word 'rort' refers to fraudulent or dishonest acts. I'm not sure how it assists the orderly conduct of this chamber to have unsubstantiated claims of fraudulent or dishonest acts when there are mechanisms in the House for dealing with those matters, so I'm seeking your ruling on the specific use of the word 'rort' in future question times.
