The member for Sturt just does not seem to get it, and if I hear a squeak from him for the rest of this debate he will be out under standing order 94(a). That would mean that the last 50 minutes for him has been wasted. These are crucial debates. If you think that they are important, please find it in yourself to sit there quietly. I say to the member for North Sydney that the motion before the chair is an amendment to an original motion by the Leader of the House for the suspension of standing and sessional orders. He will go to the reasons why he believes that sessional and standing orders should be suspended now—not generalities.
