House of RepresentativesWednesday 29 October 2025

QUESTIONS WITHOUT NOTICE

Resume your seat. Member for Wannon, you've got to stop doing this. The question was about evidence given to the Senate committee about the bill.

The minister is talking about the bill. Listen carefully. He is talking about the bill.

He's talking about the components about the bill. I'm making notes about what he's saying. That's an abuse of the standing orders, and you continually do it.

If he were talking about another bill, if he were talking about another piece of legislation, he wouldn't be relevant. But, when you're talking about the question that you're asked, the standing orders are written in such a way—I don't want this to continue, so that's the last time you're going to make a frivolous point of order. The minister is being absolutely relevant, and I want to make sure he continues not about the opposition but about the bill.
