We will oppose the third reading because this is a rort to wreck the superannuation of Australians.

The member will resume his seat. That is an abuse of the standing orders and he knows it.

How? The question was before the House. I sought the call. You gave me the call. I started. How was that an abuse of standing orders?

Because I thought you said that you had a point of order.

I did not. I said no such thing, Madam Speaker.

I am sorry. I thought I heard that. If you assure me that is not the case, then I accept that.

Madam Speaker, I rise on a point of order. Given that that has now been made clear, does the member for McMahon get to continue his speech?

No, because the parliamentary secretary is seeking the call.

For what? We are in the middle of a speech from the member for McMahon.

(In division)We are proceeding with the division. In accordance with standing order 97, at two o'clock we move to questions without notice; however, section 97(b) provides that, should a division be in progress, the division will proceed and be completed, and the result announced.

Bill read a third time.
