MR ASSISTANT SPEAKER: Mr Doszpot, I will not put up with it.
MS HUNTER: it would be really important for him to understand that this is a focused amendment that goes to the heart of what we need to be doing for our children and young people out there in schools. What we have at the moment is an unsatisfactory situation where the proficiency levels seem to be well below average and below average. That is just not good enough.
We need to be looking at how we can raise that, move that up more towards five. I think, Mr Doszpot, even in your speech you acknowledged this point. You said that four was really where we should be looking to go to. This is about reviewing and having a look at that to improve that on-the-ground access.
Mr Doszpot interjecting—
MR ASSISTANT SPEAKER: Mr Doszpot, I will not speak again. Next time it is a warning. I will not be ignored.
MS HUNTER: The on-the-ground access, front-line, in the classroom access—
Mr Hanson: Mr Assistant Speaker, I raise a point of order.
MR ASSISTANT SPEAKER: Stop the clock. Mr Hanson, you had a point of order?
Mr Hanson: Yes, on a point of order, I just note that it might be helpful if Ms Hunter was to make her comments through you in accordance with standing order 42—
MR ASSISTANT SPEAKER: Thanks very much, Mr Doszpot. I have been listening to that, and I have had that—
Mr Doszpot: Mr Hanson, Mr Hanson—
MR ASSISTANT SPEAKER: You can put your finger down please, Mr Doszpot. That is rude.
Mr Doszpot: You called him Mr Doszpot.
MR ASSISTANT SPEAKER: Stop being rude and just be quiet. If you have got a point of order, stand on your feet. If you have not—
Mr Doszpot: Mr Assistant Speaker—
MR ASSISTANT SPEAKER: Are you going to speak on Mr Hanson’s point of order?
Mr Doszpot: Yes, I am.
MR ASSISTANT SPEAKER: All right; go.
