The member for Warringah will first resume his seat, but he is going to—regrettably for my statistics—get punishment for that outburst. It was nothing to do with the word that was used. It was just the blatant interjection and disruptive behaviour by the member for Fadden that he was invited to leave. On the basis that the member for Warringah has actually abused his opportunity in the way that he could give a sensible point of order, I also invite him to leave the chamber for one hour.

The member for Warringah then left the chamber.

An incident having occurred in the gallery—

The gallery will come to order. The member for Kingston will resume her seat. The general warning to the galleries is that, for the privilege of being here, we expect them to remain silent, even though from time to time that is difficult because of the behaviour that they are observing. The member for Kingston has the call.
