Madam Speaker, I wish to raise a matter of privilege. I refer to the unanimous support from the House for the actions that you took at the beginning of question time today relating to the member for Bowman. Since that time, while he has been expelled, and having apologised to the House, a statement has been reported that the member for Bowman is not backing down on the actions for which he apologised. I ask, in the context of disorderly conduct, privilege and contempt of the parliament, that you investigate these matters and report back to the House.

I will look at the matters that you have referred to and come back to the House.
