Madam Speaker, I have a question for you. The question is: were you aware that, since you assumed the speakership, you have ejected some 200 members of the House either under standing order 94(a) or as namings?

Indeed I am, Member for Isaacs, and you are one of the worst offenders.

And were you aware that some 98 per cent of the members who you have ejected from the House are on this side of the House?

Indeed I am, Member for Isaacs, and can I say that two-thirds of them are recurrent offenders.
