Mrs Dunne: I think I am entitled to make a point of order—
MR HARGREAVES: You can make a point of order, but be prepared.
Mrs Dunne: and seek your direction, Mr Speaker.
MR HARGREAVES: Be prepared.
Mrs Dunne: This, I think, is about the second or third time in the last little while that Mr Hargreaves has referred to looking up the Liberal Party webpage and finding a corrections policy that says “please turn over”. On one occasion he tabled what he purported to be a copy of that document that he received on the webpage. No such document exists. I would like to draw this to your attention, Mr Speaker, and ask you to look at this matter.
MR HARGREAVES: On the point of order—
MR SPEAKER: Just hang on, Mr Hargreaves. Let me hear Mrs Dunne and then I will come to you.
MR HARGREAVES: On her point of order?
MR SPEAKER: Yes. I will come to you in a second.
Mrs Dunne: But one at a time.
MR HARGREAVES: Yes. Well, how about some manners? Same for you, young fellow.
Mrs Dunne: Mr Hargreaves has made allegations about the particular content of a particular document.
MR SPEAKER: Clerk, stop the clock, please.
Mrs Dunne: On one occasion Mr Hargreaves went so far as to table a document which he purported was a document that came off the Liberal Party webpage. I seek your indulgence to look into the tabling of the document—not now but at a later stage—and see whether or not it was an appropriate action for a minister to table a document which he purported to be a particular policy document when in fact it was a confection made by him or someone in his office.
MR HARGREAVES: This is no point of order.
MR SPEAKER: Mrs Dunne, yes, that is something we can take up later on. If you can send the specific point to me in writing, that is something I can look into.
Mrs Dunne: I will. Thank you.
