Julia Gillard (Lalor, Australian Labor Party, Shadow Minister for Health and Manager of Opposition Business in the House) Share this | Hansard source

Mr Speaker, on a point of order: I refer you to standing order 90, which deals with improper reflections on members, a standing order you construed quite strictly last night. On a number of occasions now, and it seems the minister is about to do the same, there has been an implication from the government that somehow members of the opposition condone violence or child sexual abuse. There is no worse allegation that could be made in this place. It is grossly unparliamentary and you should prevent that improper motive being ascribed to members of the opposition.
