Mr Speaker, I rise on a point of order. As I sat down after my last answer to the parliament I heard the member for Canning make an interjection with reference to my forthcoming travel to Jerusalem. I may not have heard him entirely accurately and I think it may assist if he clarifies what the words of the interjection were.

Mr Speaker, on the point of order, I am very happy to clarify for the Deputy Prime Minister my interjection. I said, ‘Hurry off to Jerusalem, Julia; they’re waiting for you.’

Order! I am not sure who you are talking to, Member for Canning, but if you are talking to me it is not the appropriate way to do it. I think that deals with the matter.

Mr Speaker, I ask that further questions be placed on the Notice Paper.
