The only inconsistency I can see in the way that I have treated the member for Bowman is that the member for Sturt gets more favourable treatment. On three occasions he interjected. On two of them I tried to bring it to his attention that I was hearing the interjection and asked him to desist. I think that is a fair cop, because there are some people who are constant interjectors. I repeat: if you look at the standing orders I could actually deal much more savagely with a whole host of people, but I think at the time, in fairness, being the only person interjecting and the person would not desist, I have dealt with him satisfactorily.
