Mr Speaker, I rise on a point of order. I was truly quite shocked this afternoon to see you ask three members of the opposition to remove themselves for one hour when we had the last two being removed to the organised cheering of the Liquor, Hospitality and Miscellaneous Workers Union—cheering your action in removing members who are elected representatives—with no action being taken against them at all. I find that totally unacceptable and I wonder if you could reflect upon how we can prevent this happening a second time.
