Mr Stanhope interjecting—
MADAM ASSISTANT SPEAKER (Mrs Dunne): Mr Stanhope, you were heard in silence. Be quiet.
MR SESELJA: What is it about the Labor Party and telling porkies before elections?
Mr Stanhope interjecting—
MADAM ASSISTANT SPEAKER: Mr Stanhope, be quiet.
MR SESELJA: Days out from the election we had the Prime Minister and the Treasurer reiterating that there would be no carbon tax, and they are now announcing that there will be. It is worth looking at the response here locally. We had the endorsement of that carbon tax and that lie—
Mr Stanhope: On a point of order, Madam Assistant Speaker.
MR SESELJA: Can we stop the clock, Madam Assistant Speaker?
MADAM ASSISTANT SPEAKER: Yes, stop the clock.
Mr Stanhope: Madam Assistant Speaker, this government made no election commitments about a price on carbon. The Leader of the Opposition is so desperate—
MADAM ASSISTANT SPEAKER: There is no point of order, Mr Stanhope. Sit down.
Mr Stanhope: Surely it is a question of relevance, Madam Assistant Speaker.
MADAM ASSISTANT SPEAKER: The question is the importance of governments keeping their election promises. There is no point of order. Mr Seselja.

We have got a tax that she has not seen—
Mr Stanhope: On a point of order, Madam Assistant Speaker. Surely this—
MR SESELJA: Could we stop the clock?
MADAM ASSISTANT SPEAKER: Stop the clock, please.
Mr Stanhope: Surely this matter of public importance is about this government or governments in the ACT—
MADAM ASSISTANT SPEAKER: Mr Stanhope, sit down. I have ruled.
