Mrs Jones: Withdraw “wally motion”?

MR ASSISTANT SPEAKER: “Wally”.

Mrs Jones: On the point of order, please—

MR ASSISTANT SPEAKER: I have made a ruling, Mrs Jones.

Mr Smyth: So you are ruling under standing order 73—

MR ASSISTANT SPEAKER: I have made a ruling, Mr Smyth.

Mr Smyth: I am just seeking your guidance, Mr Assistant Speaker.

MR ASSISTANT SPEAKER Mr Smyth, be seated.

Mr Smyth: Are you ruling under standing order 73—

MR ASSISTANT SPEAKER Mr Smyth, be seated. Mr Smyth, you have got two choices: you can dispute my ruling or you can allow the debate to continue.

Mr Smyth: On a point of order, Mr Assistant Speaker, under standing order 73—

MR ASSISTANT SPEAKER: There is no point of order, Mr Smyth.

Mr Smyth: You have not heard the point of order. How can you rule it out of order before you have heard it? Under the standing orders, are you making a ruling that is binding on this Assembly?

MR ASSISTANT SPEAKER: I have made a ruling, Mr Smyth. That is it. Let us carry on. Mr Hanson.

Mr Smyth interjecting—

MR HANSON: I withdraw, Mr Assistant Speaker.

Ms Berry: On a point of order, Mr Assistant Speaker, Mr Smyth just said that you should go back to Speaker school, which reflects on comments that you have made on this matter.

MR ASSISTANT SPEAKER: Mr Smyth, would you withdraw your interjection.

Mr Smyth: If you could point to the interjection you want withdrawn, I am more than happy to withdraw.

Ms Burch: On the point of order, a request—

MR ASSISTANT SPEAKER: Take a seat, Ms Burch. I just need to consult. I will review the Hansard on that and come back.
