Mr Coe: Madam integrity.
MS HUNTER: the incredible time wasting that went on last week and is obviously something that you are intent upon doing again this week.
Mr Seselja: Point of order, Mr Speaker.
MR SPEAKER: Stop the clocks.
Mr Seselja: You have been very quick to call Mr Hanson to order for relevance. I am not quite sure what part of your ruling this comment from Ms Hunter has to do with.
MR SPEAKER: On your commentary, Mr Seselja, I think I gave Mr Hanson a little more than 40 seconds, but, Ms Hunter, I would invite you to focus on the motion being debated.
Mr Coe: You get a free kick for a minute.
MS HUNTER: Thank you, Mr Speaker. I will do that. It is because that is what this is about. Mr Smyth has obviously got up and dissented from a ruling that you made on a question last week. I do have to say, though, that it is amazing how you do jump up and stamp your feet when you are not getting your own way but tend to blather on a lot and waste our time.

MS HUNTER: has looked at standing order 114—
Mr Coe: Have you written to the rent tribunal yet? Is it the stronger case? What is she not telling?
MS HUNTER: It is quite clear—
MR SPEAKER: Ms Hunter, one moment, please. Stop the clocks. Members, I have made this point a number of times over the last couple of weeks. I expect to be able to hear other members. The volume of the interjections is unacceptable.
