Tony Smith (Speaker) Share this | Hansard source

The Leader of the Opposition can resume his seat. To both sides, to all members, I'm just going to make this point now. I will start ejecting people rapidly. That is a prime example where the minister did give the answer. It will be there in Hansard. I could just hear the answer. I believe the Leader of the Opposition didn't, and that is because those behind him were interjecting loudly. A minister can conclude their answer at any time. So that is a prime example of why interjections are completely counterproductive. If there is a repeat of that, with those levels of interjections, there will be no warnings for the rest of the day, there will be no mentions, there will just be ejections.
