Wilson Tuckey (O'Connor, Liberal Party) Share this | Hansard source

In light of the concern that the opposition has expressed for the standing orders would you please tell the House whether in future you will give a literal interpretation to standing order 100:

(d)

Questions must not contain:

(i)

statements of facts or names of persons, unless they can be authenticated and are strictly necessary to make the question intelligible;

(ii)

arguments;

(iii)

inferences;

(iv)

imputations;

(v)

insults;

(vi)

ironical expressions; or

(vii)

hypothetical matter.

I am sure members would be so pleased if all those rules were applied to their questions.
