Mr Speaker, as you would be aware, during question time a number of members were warned and the sin-bin rule was effected. Can I ask you why a member of the coalition is allowed to interject whilst you are on your feet without attracting a warning?
David Hawker Speaker
The Chief Opposition Whip is beginning to reflect on the chair.
Roger Price Chifley, Australian Labor Party
I do not wish to reflect on the chair. May I observe that you sought to warn a member who was departing and was interjecting as she went through the doorway. We had a division and there was no subsequent dealing with that member, who was highly disorderly.
David Hawker Speaker
The Chief Opposition Whip will resume his seat. I do not intend to revisit earlier proceedings.
