Warning by Speaker

Mr Speaker, yesterday you suspended me from the House for an hour. I understand you then made some comments about warnings not necessarily being given. But under the written record of the House in Hansard it says that I was warned. I would ask that you rectify the record.

On page 35 in the draft Hansard it does indicate on the top of the second column:
The SpeakerI warn the member for Lyons.
All I ever said was: ‘Member for Lyons!’ Regrettably for the member for Lyons, research has found that—and there was a sort of nod and a wink to tell me that this might be brought to my attention—on page 27, again in the second column, the Hansard reads:
The Speaker—The member for Dickson will resume his place.
It then goes on italics:
Mr Oakeshott interjecting—
This arises because of a misspeak by myself where I go on to say:
The member for Lyne will be prompted to get up and go somewhere!
That should read ‘The member for Lyons’. Both those corrections will be made.
