My point of order is rule No. 100(d)(i) which says, 'Questions must not contain statements of fact unless they are strictly necessary to make the question intelligible'. The opposition all week has provided us with unnecessary details of the country of origin and the alleged crimes of people.

Opposition members interjecting

The parliament does not need to hear the details of the alleged or prosecuted crimes of these individuals in posing these questions. It's unparliamentary and it's dog whistling.
