Parliamentary Procedure

Speaker's Ruling

The SPEAKER (11:02): Yesterday, the member for Morialta raised a point of order on the Minister for Communities and Social Inclusion to the effect:

Point of order, sir. I think you need to assist the minister. She is reading an answer to a Dorothy Dixer. It was actually a question raised by the member for Morphett. It was quite specific but she is going nowhere near.

I have reviewed the Hansard, and the minister's answer was entirely germane; therefore, the point of order was bogus, and I accordingly call the member for Morialta to order and warn him.
