House of RepresentativesTuesday 4 February 2025

QUESTIONS WITHOUT NOTICE

There's only one point of order allowed. If you're not happy with the way I've handled a situation, any member can take action then. But to simply come back in the future and go, 'Can you further clarify a minute later what your decision was,' is not practical and is not common sense, and no Speaker has had to deal with that before.

We're going to make sure that the Prime Minister is being directly relevant. I was listening before he was interrupted about supermarkets or impacts. Yes, I can appreciate it's a short question and you want a number and you want a figure.

As long as he's being directly relevant, we've got to make sure that everyone follows the standing orders.
