Mr Speaker, given the number of opportunities afforded to the opposition to raise questions with you, is it the case that there were 31 points of order and one protest made during question time today? Is it also the case that, during the last term of the previous government, the government gave 288 answers that were longer than four minutes? Thirdly, given the question raised by the Manager of Opposition Business about constitutionality, I wonder whether you could ascertain from the opposition whether they intend to proceed with their legal action about the constitutionality of this parliament when it does not have quorums or divisions between 6.30 and eight o’clock and whether the extension that they have asked for of that provision, which has been forwarded to the Procedure Committee, raises any legal questions whatsoever as well.
