The honourable member for Banks will resume his seat. Fact 1: the member for Casey was sat down. It is all over red rover. I just indicate, whilst I have not used the expression, that whether we like it or not the practice of the House has been to give both leaders—the Prime Minister and the Leader of the Opposition—a bit of slack and leniency. I can say to you that, throughout today’s proceedings, both have had that given to them. The dogs have barked; the caravan is moving on.
