I thank the Manager of Opposition Business. I will take it under consideration. I stand by the ruling at this point in time. I will speak to the Speaker and, if it suits the Manager of Opposition Business, either I or the Speaker will address you and the Leader of the House in response. In addressing this issue, it is a very serious statement to make that you are appeasing or sympathising with a group who murdered many millions of people. That is a fact. These are things that we will consider. I appreciate that there is a bit of uncertainty, and we will look into that. It is a very, very serious remark to be made in this parliament and that's why I've ruled as I have, but I will absolutely take it under consideration and refer to the Speaker.
