I thank the member for Batman and the spirit in which he raises that question. He raises a very valid point and, as he would be aware, occupiers of the chair repeatedly pull members from both sides up for not observing that particular standing order. In relation to the point that he specifically raises about question time—I have to say, I did not catch it at the time and it would also help if members raised those points at the time—it is too late to deal with now, but I remind all members that they are expected to uphold the standing orders, including the one that the member for Batman has just raised.
