Combatting Antisemitism, Hate and Extremism (Firearms and Customs Laws) Bill 2026, Combatting Antisemitism, Hate and Extremism (Criminal and Migration Laws) Bill 2026

No. There's no scope under the standing orders for what you would like to do. What I am doing is allowing you to address the House and to associate your remarks with the Prime Minister's, not to give a political speech, not to give an alternative view.

Otherwise, indulgence would not be granted to anyone. It couldn't work that way. If this was a Senate resolution, of course you'd be able to make those remarks, but I'm just asking—for this subject, for this matter, for the House—that we can come together and deal with this matter in the spirit in which I think the Prime Minister's remarks were addressed to the House.
