I've identified the gentleman because, clearly, he has been signed in by a member of parliament to attend the gallery. That conduct is not becoming of a visitor to the chamber. It is a reflection on the Speaker and all of us here, and I do take offence at that behaviour. If we are here to improve standards, it has to come from all, including visitors. So, I ask the Speaker: is that appropriate conduct for a signed-in guest in the public gallery? I also point out that I do take offence to the threat that was made to me by the Leader of the Nationals—that I should 'be careful'. That is not appropriate conduct in this chamber.
