The Leader of the Opposition will resume his seat.
I don't need to hear from the Leader of the House.
The Leader of the House will resume his seat. There is conduct that is creeping into practice in this place where the use of points of order is being abused. I will be pulling members up for points of order which are not valid, and if it keeps happening then don't be surprised if you don't get the call. I'm trying my best to err on the side of caution and always give members that do rise, at the dispatch box or otherwise, the point of order, because I think that's a reasonable thing to do. But, if that process is being abused, then there may be opportunities where you just simply don't get the call. I'm happy to hear from the Manager of Opposition Business.
