On 30 May at 2.19 pm, the Manager of Opposition Business asked me to direct the Treasurer to cease his repeated practice of undignified personal attacks. That was raised by the manager, and I agreed with him at the time that personal reflection on other members shall be considered highly disorderly. In light of that, we're going to continue with the practice from 30 May to ensure that those sorts of remarks aren't made. Out of respect for the Deputy Leader of the Opposition, I will ask her to begin her question again without that remark and make sure that she's complying with practice and standing orders.
