I have asked you to return to your seat. The member for Hotham is warned.

Mr Sukkar interjecting—

The member for Deakin is warned. Let me make it as clear as I can. Members rising on a point of order need to state the point of order, not to give the House or myself a lecture on what they think of the minister's answer. If they cannot state the point of order they cannot stay in the House. I was lenient in warning the member for Hotham. I had asked her to resume her seat twice. If she thinks that was a bit too tough she might want to consult with the member for Ballarat, who had rather tougher treatment on one occasion. The minister has the call.
