MR HARGREAVES: I do not need to. Madam Assistant Speaker, I will address my remarks through the chair. I am bitterly disappointed in your behaviour in recent times, about your tardiness—
Mr Seselja: Madam Assistant Speaker, on a point of order.
MR HARGREAVES: Mr Seselja, I have not finished the sentence. How about you wait until I do that?
Mr Seselja: I have got a point of order.
MADAM ASSISTANT SPEAKER: There is a point of order. Can you sit down please, Mr Hargreaves?
Mr Seselja: I think that Mr Hargreaves is reflecting on you in the chair and I think he should be brought to order. You have already warned him not to go there. He does not have licence in the adjournment debate to go and reflect on your behaviour or your ruling in the chair. And if he goes there again he should be sat down.
MR HARGREAVES: On the point of order, Madam Assistant Speaker, and I suspect that the clock has been stopped.
MADAM ASSISTANT SPEAKER: Yes, you can see that.
MR HARGREAVES: I am not reflecting on the events of the last vote. I am reflecting on events in the past in terms of a member’s behaviour in this place and it has nothing to do—
Mr Doszpot: John, you have got the gall to talk about members’ behaviour.
MR HARGREAVES: For God’s sake.
MADAM ASSISTANT SPEAKER: Order, Mr Doszpot.
MR HARGREAVES: Mind your business, Steve. Stay out of it or I will turn on you.
MADAM ASSISTANT SPEAKER: Mr Hargreaves, sit down. Mr Seselja raised a point of order that the tone of your comments was a reflection on the chair. They are a reflection on the chair and they must not continue.
MR HARGREAVES: I take your ruling quite happily, Madam Assistant Speaker. I am not reflecting on the chair at all. I am not reflecting on the debate that has just ended. I am reflecting, in fact, on events over a period of time, on a member’s behaviour in discharging their responsibilities to this place in their role as an assistant speaker. I am not—
MADAM ASSISTANT SPEAKER: Mr Hargreaves, sit down.
MR HARGREAVES: All right. I will do it in some other way.
