Milton Dick (Speaker) | Hansard source

I'm aware of that ruling. Where we intersect on page 178 is discretionary powers of the chair, which can always deal with some of these topics. I'm not happy with the imputation, just as I wasn't last week, but we're going to allow it. I remind the House that it's a bit of a dangerous slope to go down for everyone in the House if we're going to open this can of worms up. It is not within the dignity of the House to go to the specific financial matters of any individual member of the House. Language is important, but the manager is correct. There is a policy area that the Treasurer is responsible for, so I'm going to be very broad with allowing the Treasurer's response in light of what I've just said.
