Thanks, Speaker. I move:

That so much of the standing and sessional orders be suspended as would prevent the member for Wannon from moving the following motion immediately:

That this House censures the minister for Defence Industry and Minister for Pacific Island Affairs for comments made today at the National Press Club wherein the minister called former Prime Minister Sir Robert Gordon Menzies a Nazi appeaser.

This is an utter, utter disgrace.
