The member for Deakin will cease interjecting.

Honourable members interjecting—

I refer all members to the statements that I have made about interjections when I am trying to hear points of order and trying to hear questions and answers. Let me make it abundantly clear again—I should not have to—that I will deal with any interjections very strongly. I am not going to have the House disrupted when I am trying to hear answers and hear points of order. I really do foreshadow that, if it continues, I will give ministers the option just to sit down. If I cannot hear the answer, parliament becomes unruly.
