Harry Jenkins (Speaker) Share this | Hansard source

Order! The member for Higgins should remember that there was much more in her question than she has raised in the point of order. The Prime Minister has been responding to the question. I do not think the House has been listening, because there seems to be a lot of chatter.

Mr Randall interjecting—

The member for Canning can remove himself from the House under 94(a) for one hour.

The member for Canning then left the chamber.

Opposition members interjecting—

The member for Canning has been here long enough to know that there is no need for a warning to get one hour under 94(a). It would appear that he thinks this is a reward or something. The numbers leaving for an hour are extremely high. I would have hoped it would modify behaviour, but it does not appear to. The Prime Minister has the call.
