I seek your guidance under standing orders 89 and 90 that deal with disorder, offensive words and imputations of improper motives. I specifically refer to the term 'rort' and the use of that term during question time in the last couple of weeks. The Treasurer has used the term on a frequent basis and, today, the minister for infrastructure used the term to refer to those opposite. Interjections from this side then referred to the member for 'Ballarort'—again, the use of that term.
