I have a question to you, Mr Speaker. The member for Corio in his personal explanation has just used the phrase ‘deposed AWAs’. If Hansard corrects that to ‘opposed’—in other words, if Hansard corrects the slip of the tongue that the member for Corio made—will you, Mr Speaker, require members opposite who have made scurrilous accusations against the Prime Minister to apologise?

I thank the Leader of the House. I trust that commonsense will prevail.
