Tony Smith (Speaker) Share this | Hansard source

The member for Hunter knows two things: if he wishes to raise those sorts of matters, he has a number of opportunities to raise them during the sitting of the House; or he can write to me or to any other authority. My recollection from when I was a humble backbencher is that this was raised with the Speaker at the time. That is my recollection. I know it is something that is dear to the heart of the member for Hunter, because I have it bellowing into my left ear through interjections during most question times. If I have anything to say about the matter, I will let the member for Hunter know and then I will let the House know.
