In the context of what was happening at the time, I asked for its withdrawal. Therefore, by definition, it was unparliamentary at that point in time. And as the member for Warringah, who has experience as Leader of the House, knows, there is no definitive list of expressions or names. The fact is that, from time to time, it comes down to the context of what is happening in the chamber and it is in the hands of the Presiding Officer. The expression, I believe, was not helpful to the proper conduct of the chamber. I asked that the member withdraw; he chose not to withdraw—that is the reason he was asked to leave the chamber.
