Harry Jenkins Speaker
In accordance with standing order 133, I shall now proceed to put the question on the motion that the member for Cowper be suspended from the service of the House, on which a division was called for and deferred in accordance with the standing order. No further debate is allowed.
Joe Hockey North Sydney, Liberal Party, Manager of Opposition Business in the House
Mr Speaker, on indulgence, in deference to you: the member is effectively serving a 48-hour penalty under a 24-hour provision. It indicates what a farce that Friday was.
Question put:
That the member for Cowper be suspended from the service of the House.
Harry Jenkins Speaker
The question having been resolved in the affirmative, the member for Cowper is therefore suspended from the service of the House for 24 hours under standing order 94(d).
