House of RepresentativesTuesday 13 October 2026

QUESTIONS WITHOUT NOTICE

I've had enough of people abusing points of order on relevance. I need everyone to show the chamber some respect, not just to use it for some political attacks. The Treasurer was asked about the changes in tax structure.

He's deliberately being relevant. We're not going to have that sort of behaviour, otherwise I will start resorting to not taking points of order. I do not want to do that, but, if that behaviour continues by anyone in the chamber, I simply won't take points of order.

Do not abuse the standing orders. Do not abuse the chamber. The Treasurer has the call.
