Mr Speaker, a point of order: the question contains argument portrayed as facts that are factually wrong. It is not possible for the member to pretend that the royal commissioner has said something that he has not said and base his question on a false statement. For that reason, either the question has to be rearranged and come back to, or it needs to be struck out as being outside the standing orders. The statement that has been attributed to the royal commissioner is not factually true.

Mr Stephen Jones interjecting
