Madam Speaker, the standing orders say that the name of a person can be included in a question, especially if it authenticates the statement that is being made in the question. The member for Cowan was talking about a particular constituent. If we had not named the constituent, Mr Fitzgibbon would have taken the point of order that this might not actually be true. By naming the constituent it adds lustre to the question because you can be certain that the claim has been authenticated.
