I want to deal with this. The Treasurer is going to take a pause for a moment and resume his seat. We're simply not going to have a question time where everyone thinks it's a free-for-all and they can say whatever they like whenever they like. That is not how this chamber will work. We talk about respect a lot, and that sort of behaviour is just—we're moving beyond that. The Deputy Leader of the Opposition will leave the chamber under 94(a).

The member for Fairfax then left the chamber.

I'm simply not going to have that behaviour. It's the same when people are asking and answering questions. Show restraint; show respect. The Treasurer will return to the question and be directly relevant.
