I thank the member for Brisbane, and I say to him the following: it is not the role of the Speaker to give guidance. I refer him to the statement that I made at the beginning of the week, and in particular I refer him to the House of Representatives Practice, page 499, where it says quite clearly it is the words used and the context in which they are used.
