Ms Anna Burke (Chisholm, Deputy-Speaker) Share this | Hansard source

The member for Dickson, as I said, I did not see it. If the speaker did not take it up with the member for Dobell, I will actually go and view that. The difficulty I have is that if everybody bends the rules then I am left with no rules. Then I am—and every occupier of the chair is—put into an insidious position. But as the first Deputy Speaker—you have copped me, I am sorry—I actually have to set the benchmark a bit higher than the rest. I appreciate what you say. Latitude can happen in debate, but I think we are straying now and I would ask you to wind up if you are getting to that point.
