Mr Speaker, I wanted to ask you a question about a ruling you made about the member for Mayo, but you have just indicated that you do not want questions on your rulings.

You agreed with him, he agreed with you and then you threw him out.

No. I do not think that this is a matter for debate. My observation would be—and I do not want to fit him up and put words in his mouth—that he copped it sweet.

There was a comment from the opposition front bench that he might have been pleased to leave, but I think I will leave that alone.
