Speaker, on a point of order: again, I have done my best to outline to the House, to the member for Flinders and to the member for Indi that the contributions have to be why standing orders need to be suspended now. You were telling me that we have been having a debate about climate change for three years. You then started to tell me about Monday which is precisely the same mistake that the member for Flinders made. The member must speak in accordance with the standing orders.

An opposition member: That is embarrassing.
