Before members leave, if they can remain in their seats briefly. I want to remind members while you're all here of just a couple of standing orders that were breached during that last debate. I can appreciate the topic, and I can appreciate the emotion involved with the debate. Under standing order 64, in the House and the Federation Chamber, a member shall not be referred to by name but by one of the following forms as appropriate: the member's ministerial office, not their name but their ministerial title, or the parliamentary office that the office holds. Standing order 65 requires all remarks to go through the chair to make sure there is respect shown to each other and to the chair. And, under standing order 89, a member must not use offensive words against either house of the parliament or a member of the parliament. I just remind all members to refresh themselves of those standing orders for the remainder of the day.
