One of the useful definitions of ‘unparliamentary’ that the member for O’Connor raises with me from time to time is ‘the type of remark that is probably going to lead to disorderly behaviour within the chamber’. The member for Canning has suffered because of the way in which I have ruled in this manner. He said something which I may have allowed him if he had said it in a debate, but I asked him to withdraw it because he made the comment by interjection. I am just saying that the member for Mayo went on to debate the question after making what was a very proper personal explanation. I am simply asking him to withdraw it.
