Mr Speaker, under standing order 103, I have a question for you. Can you please advise the House of how many members of this side of the House were excluded under standing order 94(a) and how many members of this side of the House were warned today and how many members of that side of the House—government members—were both excluded under standing order 94(a) and warned?

I thank the member for Grayndler. I would make the very clear point to the member for Grayndler that, when disruption occurs in this chamber, members are called to order. If members continue to interject they are warned. If members ignore that warning then the chair, like all previous occupiers of this chair, will take action.

So you are not going to answer the question? Is that right?

The member for Grayndler has received a response. I have fully responded and he will resume his seat.

The member for Grayndler can check the Hansard later if he really needs all those statistics.
