MADAM DEPUTY SPEAKER: Mr Corbell stood before when Ms Hunter stood, and I recognised Ms Hunter.

Mr Smyth: That is okay. That is not what my point of order is about.

MADAM DEPUTY SPEAKER: Sorry.

Mr Smyth: You do not know what I am raising.

MADAM DEPUTY SPEAKER: What is your point of order, Mr Smyth?

Mr Smyth: I ask you to reflect on your decision that, given that this is a discussion and not a motion, the relevance rules do not apply.

MADAM DEPUTY SPEAKER: Mr Smyth, I do not think I said the relevance rules do not apply, but I am happy to review the Hansard at a later stage.

Mr Smyth: What did you say? You said relevance does not apply in this case.

MADAM DEPUTY SPEAKER: No, I did not say that.

Mr Smyth: What did you say?

MADAM DEPUTY SPEAKER: I said that I thought the discussion was quite appropriate.

Mr Smyth: No, no, that is not what you said.

MADAM DEPUTY SPEAKER: Mr Smyth, will you just resume your seat, please? Resume your seat.

Mr Smyth: To the point of order.

MADAM DEPUTY SPEAKER: I beg your pardon?

Mr Smyth: To the point of order.

Mr Corbell: What is the point of order?

Mr Smyth: Members are allowed to raise points of order, Mr Corbell. Don’t you remember that rule?

MADAM DEPUTY SPEAKER: I thought I had addressed it.
