Tony Smith (Speaker) Share this | Hansard source

I thank the Manager of Opposition Business. Speakers have made clear in the past that they don't go and examine tapes and all the rest of it. But I will say this. I've asked whether an unparliamentary remark was made. The Leader of the House has said that he didn't make an unparliamentary remark. That doesn't mean that things that are said can lead to disorder in the House, and all members need to reflect on that. It's always open, of course, for any member, having reflected on that, to deal with a matter if they so decide. I'll leave it at that at this point.
