Mr Speaker, I wanted to ask you a question about a ruling you made about the member for Mayo, but you have just indicated that you do not want questions on your rulings.

Harry Jenkins Speaker
No. I do not think that this is a matter for debate. My observation would be—and I do not want to fit him up and put words in his mouth—that he copped it sweet.
