Mr Kaine: Well, push it to its final result, Mr Berry.

MADAM SPEAKER: Mr Kaine, it is with great reluctance, because you are the Leader of the Opposition, that I will have to name you. I have asked you to withdraw.

Mr Kaine: Well, you name me and there is a consequence that follows, Madam Speaker.

MADAM SPEAKER: Yes, I am afraid that that is the case.

Ms Follett: Why don't you adjourn for five minutes and let him calm down.

MADAM SPEAKER: Let us suspend the proceedings for five minutes. I suspend the proceedings until the ringing of the bells.
