I have a question for you, Mr Speaker.

Mr Brendan O'Connor interjecting—

Tony Smith Speaker

The member for Gorton is about to be thrown out. He has already been warned. The member for Herbert has a question for me.

Ewen Jones

Ewen Jones Herbert, Liberal Party

I do not expect you to have the answer here, Mr Speaker, but I would like to ask you a question. If a member of this House was subsequently found to be a shadow director of a company when he made representations in here, would he be guilty of misleading the House?

Tony Smith

Tony Smith Speaker

The member for Herbert will resume his seat.
