Milton Dick (Speaker) | Hansard source

No. I'm going to deal with this. We've all tried to improve standards, or I hope that's the goal of all members of parliament. We've had some serious incidents, as people know. That sort of language is beneath the dignity of this House. Manager, if you wish to say that in your own time and your own capacity, go for it. But, while I'm the Speaker, I want certain standards and for the decorum to be lifted and raised. I'm not happy with that sort of level of disrespect not to me but to the parliament. So I'm tempted to rule that question out and just move to the next one. But I want this to be a final warning that people cannot use that language in here. It is completely unacceptable. The member for Warringah on the point of order?
