Yesterday, the member for McEwen issued a social media post claiming that I was asked questions about robodebt deaths and responded in a certain way. This is disingenuous. The post followed a speech I gave on Services Australia in the Federation Chamber. I made no reference to robodebt. However, there were a number of aggressive interjections and shouting by the member for McEwen during my speech, such that the Deputy Speaker called 'order'. I further note that the member for McEwen chose not to interject during a speech substantially similar to mine given by the honourable member for Casey—a male colleague.

Order! The member for Bowman will withdraw that remark.
