Order! The Manager of Opposition Business will resume his seat. On the element of his comment—rather than point of order—that of course the behaviour of any member is my problem, I acknowledge that. But I simply put it to members of long standing—probably those that were here in the previous parliament and beyond—that it has ever been the case during question time that from time to time repeated remarks are made that require withdrawal under the standing and sessional orders and practices of this place. That is done at the end of question time, and I think that what we find today is consistent with the way in which the House has conducted its business in the past.
