MADAM DEPUTY SPEAKER: There is no point of order, Mr Smyth. Will you sit down.
Mr Smyth: Sorry, Madam Deputy Speaker; you don’t know what my point of order is so you can’t rule it out or say that it’s not a point of order.
MADAM DEPUTY SPEAKER: The point of order is that she was not addressing the chair.
Mr Smyth: It’s a new point of order.
MADAM DEPUTY SPEAKER: You have made up a new point of order?
Mr Smyth: It’s a different point of order.
MADAM DEPUTY SPEAKER: Right, Mr Smyth.
Mr Smyth: Am I allowed different points of order?
MADAM DEPUTY SPEAKER: Yes, Mr Smyth. Continue.
Mr Smyth: Thank you. That’s very gracious. Mr Stanhope just called Mr Hanson “jellyback”. I understand the Speaker has now ruled that unparliamentary and I would ask you to make him withdraw.
MADAM DEPUTY SPEAKER: I will check the Hansard later on today—
Mr Smyth: No, he just said it. He just said it.
MADAM DEPUTY SPEAKER: Excuse me, Mr Smyth, will you resume your seat?
Mr Smyth: So are you saying Mr Stanhope is saying he didn’t say it?
MADAM DEPUTY SPEAKER: Resume your seat, Mr Smyth. Resume your seat.
Mr Smyth: Is that what you’re saying—you didn’t say it?
MADAM DEPUTY SPEAKER: Resume your seat.
Mr Stanhope: I didn’t address any comment to anybody.
MS GALLAGHER: Can you stop the clock, Madam Deputy Speaker?
MADAM DEPUTY SPEAKER: Okay, stop the clock. I apologise. Mr Smyth—
Mr Stanhope: I haven’t addressed a comment to anybody.
Mr Seselja: Captain underpants.
