I'll just read the relevant section from Practice, because not everyone viewing this will necessarily understand it:
Any dissent from the Speaker's ruling is not necessarily interpreted as a censure of the Speaker.
There are lots of examples where that's been made—particularly during the Menzies government, actually. So that has been moved. It doesn't require a seconder but it can obviously be debated. Sorry—it does require a seconder, I should say. Is the motion seconded?
