Tony Abbott Warringah, Liberal Party, Leader of the Opposition
2:18 pm
My question is to the Prime Minister. I refer the Prime Minister to the announcement this morning—
Bob Katter Kennedy, Independent
Mr Speaker, I rise on a point of order. As I understand the standing orders, he had the right to seek the leave of the House. Why has he got that right and I have not got that right? I would like that explained to me.
Harry Jenkins Speaker
I am not going to give you advice on the run because I actually had a feeling that, given your combined state and federal experience, you would know that, once you got the call, you had an advantage over me.
Tony Abbott Warringah, Liberal Party, Leader of the Opposition
Harry Jenkins Speaker
The Leader of the Opposition will resume his seat.
Harry Jenkins Speaker
Order! The member for Kennedy has not got the call. The member for Kennedy now has the call.
Bob Katter Kennedy, Independent
I seek leave of the House to move a motion.
Leave not granted.
Christopher Pyne Sturt, Liberal Party, Shadow Minister for Education, Apprenticeships and Training
Mr Pyne interjecting
Harry Jenkins Speaker
Order! The member for Sturt yet again has squandered an opportunity. I will ignore everything now.
