What I was saying to the point of order, Acting Deputy President, was: I didn't refer to the Prime Minister. My comments, clearly, were about the Treasurer and what I said—and I think this is well within the standing orders—was that the new Treasurer trying to walk and lie at the same time was obviously proving a bit much and a bit awkward. I never referred to the Prime Minister at all, and I don't believe that is unparliamentary under the standing orders.
