Mr President, I rise on a point of order. I drew this to your attention last week: increasingly the opposition are using their questions not to state a question but to denigrate the minister to whom the question is directed. Given that I know how much the opposition are concerned about parliamentary procedures and proper behaviour during question time, I ask you to draw attention to their continued abuse of question time and the phrasing of questions.
