Mr Tony Burke (Watson, Australian Labor Party, Minister for Employment and Workplace Relations) | Hansard source

Mr Speaker, I appreciate your previous rulings about personal reflections, but to not be able to argue whether someone has brought high or low standards to a question or debate would be effectively to say you can't have debate. Of all the moments in question time to object, what the Manager of Opposition Business has just objected to is just really odd. You can't have normal debate if you can't say whether or not someone's asked something reasonable or whether the standards are reasonable or not.
