Christopher Pyne (Sturt, Liberal Party, Leader of the House) Share this | Hansard source

On the point of order, I think it is quite clear that the members are talking to the substantive issues that face the Senate and the House of Representatives, which is not dealing with that matter now. The reason they are saying we should not deal with those matters now is because of the government's policy with respect to dealing with the banks versus the Labor Party's policy of a royal commission. Of course if you, Mr Speaker, directed the members of this side of the House to speak more to the procedural motion, I am sure they would be quite prepared to do so, but no-one has yet made that point.
