Points of order
FRANK McGUIRE  (ALP)

 


Mr McGuire — On the point of order, Speaker, there is an issue of accuracy, balance, fairness and context that is being ignored in these propositions. This goes to my point that it is offensive, and the member in the chamber has the right to call it out as being offensive. You cannot come in and just make offensive statements that are inaccurate to members. This is a substantive issue that I call on the Speaker to address so that we have clarity on this. The precedent was set yesterday and was upheld.
