The level of interjections is ridiculously high. I am not going to keep interrupting ministers. There were interjectors on both sides disrupting the debate. I simply say to those members that I will deal with them. We are not going to have that level of noise for the rest of question time. We are really not. This is particularly addressed to the members for Lalor, Gellibrand, Griffith and Hume, who seemed to be arguing through the Prime Minister's answer with someone on the other side. I will refer members to my previous statements on this and act accordingly.
