Madam Deputy Speaker, a point of order on the two points that have been raised: one by yourself and one by the Leader of the House. In terms of dealing with the one from the Leader of the House, the minister is not being asked for a legal opinion, he is being asked why he has not acted within his own powers and his own discretion. In terms of your concern, if your concern were followed through for all questions and answers, Madam Deputy Speaker, but particularly questions, then virtually no question about the opposition or Campbell Newman or Barry O'Farrell or anybody else would be asked in this place.
