Mr Speaker, I rise on a point of order. My point of order goes to the standing orders relating to frivolous points of order. During 2007 there were 178 points of order moved at an average of 12.7 per week or 15.3 per cent of total questions interrupted. We are just into the fifth week of sittings and already there have been more points of order taken this year than the entire sittings last year.
