Milton Dick (Speaker) Share this | Hansard source

Before I call the Leader of the Opposition, I understand that the members for Bowman, McPherson, Grey and Groom have signs that they have prepared to hold up—l-i-e-s. They're not permitted to do that, under the standing orders, so I'm going to ask them not to do that. There are props; they're not allowed in this House. For the dignity of this House, I will not have signs held up like that. I'm giving you fair warning that we are not having the Parliament of Australia degenerate into that.

You're on thin ice, too, Member for Kennedy, for wearing that Blues scarf! Trust me.
