Mr Speaker, could you investigate and report back to the House why my point of order to the Prime Minister yesterday is not clearly reflected in Hansard. The point of order was heard across the chamber. It was reported on Sky News last night. Yet the final part of the point of order is not clearly reflected in Hansard, that being that we do not use hair dryers in the military. So I ask whether you could investigate and report back to the House why Hansard does not include the full point of order.

I think that the real problem is that we are in the electronic age which can give footage of everything that happens, but I recollect that, like a number of other points of order, when I have decided that we are entering into things that are outside the point of order I have probably asked you to resume your seat, and that is why after that it is not recorded. I just indicate that one of the hardships for those in the box is that they are obliged to switch the microphones off when I so direct, and I think you will find that has happened. If that is not the case, I will get back to the member for Fadden. I will only get back to him if that is not the explanation.
