The acting Prime Minister will resume his seat. The Minister for Defence Industry is now warned. The Leader of the Opposition has abused the standing orders in a grievous way, and I'm reluctant to do this, but he is now warned. We simply can't have people jumping up. If that was the case, there's no point of having question time. Standing orders are put in place so that we can run this effectively and efficiently, and, if people are going to just take advantage or take the mickey, we're doing the people of Australia a disservice. So there's just far too much noise. Everyone is going to calm down and we're just going to hear from the acting Prime Minister for the remaining 16 seconds.
