MS GALLAGHER: I actually think it is probably a good thing for a Treasurer to have some communist links.
Mr Hargreaves: Point of order, Mr Speaker.

MS GALLAGHER: Thank you, Mr Speaker. The government has not been hiding behind the commonwealth stimulus money. Indeed, I think what you have used—you have tried to use it for your advantage to include it in the base.
Mr Smyth: That’s not the question. Which figures—
MR SPEAKER: Mr Smyth!
MS GALLAGHER: That is what is wrong.
Mr Smyth: She’s not answering the question.
MS GALLAGHER: No, you asked me what is wrong with your figures.
Mr Smyth: No, no. I asked which were incorrect.

Mr Smyth: Which figure’s incorrect?
Mr Stanhope: I raise a point of order, Mr Speaker.
MR SPEAKER: Order, Treasurer. Stop the clocks, thank you.
Mr Stanhope: Mr Speaker, you have taken the step of formally warning the Leader of the Opposition and the Deputy Leader of the Opposition that if they did not desist—
Mr Smyth: That is not true.
Mr Stanhope: You were just formally warned, I understand.
MR SPEAKER: Mr Seselja was.
Mr Smyth: Yeah, not me.
Mr Stanhope: So Mr Smyth is free to continue to interject, is he?
