Mr Speaker, under standing order 103 I want to follow up the point of order that I moved in question time and the question to you from the member for Melbourne. It appears to me from a detailed perusing of standing order 100 that it is important for us as the opposition to know the basis of your rulings. It cannot be just that it is the vibe of the rules; it has to be in the standing orders. I ask that you indicate under which section of standing order 100 the sentence in the honourable member for Griffith’s question was out of order?

I thank the member for Grayndler. I remind him that under standing order 103 questions to the Speaker are related to administration. I will not give a running commentary on rulings, and I have made that clear before.
