Peter Costello (Higgins, Liberal Party, Treasurer) Share this | Hansard source

I have a question to you, Mr Speaker. I drew the attention of the House earlier to the tendency of the member for Grayndler to stand in front of his frontbench looking at the camera. I wonder whether, when you view the videotape, you could look at his technique in doing that and whether you could also see whether, after he was ejected from the chamber today, this was taken up by the member for Lilley in his place? My question to you is: is it orderly for a member of parliament to stand, looking at their frontbench, in order to shield their frontbench from ministers when they are answering questions?
