Members on my left! The Prime Minister will pause for a second. I say to members interjecting, like the member for McMahon and the member for Hotham, that I'm not going to be put in a position where members are loudly interjecting when it's my job to listen to the question and to the answer. That's the task I face every day, irrespective of the views of members interjecting. I simply can't do that properly. If interjections keep occurring, like they just did, those members will be ejected. Interjections are disorderly in every form. The Prime Minister has the call.
