Mr Deputy Speaker, I rise on a point of order. We are 20 minutes into the member’s speech. This is a bill about extending MBS and PBS to midwives and nurses. He has not yet brought himself to say anything positive about nurses. He is not being relevant to the bill and I would like to bring him back to the debate. If he has nothing good to say about nurses, he should sit down.
