My question is to the Minister for Indigenous Australians. Does the minister recall making the following statement in July 2019 when speaking about a federal treaty: 'It could be about fiscal arrangements.'

Government Members:

Government members interjecting—

I'm going to ask the member to state that question again because I didn't hear the end part. There was too much noise on my right.

The minister for skills is warned! The Deputy Leader of the Opposition, on a point of order?

Mr Speaker, I seek your ruling. Last week you indicated that, if members interjected and were warned, and subsequently interjected, they should be removed under standing order 94(a).

Resume your seat. I thank the deputy leader for raising that matter, because she is correct. When questions have been asked and before the answer of the minister or the Prime Minister or where the question is directed is not the time to interject. I've made that crystal clear. The Minister for Home Affairs was warned. The person at fault this time was the minister for skills, and I warned him. I can give the deputy leader an assurance. If the Minister for Home Affairs interjects one more time, she will leave—as will the minister for skills.

I thank the member for his question. The Voice is about advice. And, in the words of the South Australian Premier, 'When we cast our votes, allow us to summon the courage to be motivated by faith, hope and love; motivated by the pursuit of a better future over an unsatisfactory status quo.'
