Members, Suspension

The honourable members for Dunstan, Hammond, MacKillop and Unley having withdrawn from the chamber:

The Hon. J.J. SNELLING (Playford—Minister for Health, Minister for Mental Health and Substance Abuse, Minister for the Arts, Minister for Health Industries) (15:27): I move:

That the honourable members for Dunstan, Hammond, MacKillop and Unley be suspended from the service of the house for the remainder of the day.

Motion carried.

The SPEAKER: Before we move to the next item of business, there was a period in the 1790s when the Paris mob tried to override the first democratically elected parliament in France's history by interrupting duly elected members from the gallery, shouting them down and worse. I am not going to see anyone, any stranger, come into this house and use coarse and filthy language shouted from the gallery and expect it to go unpunished, and then, when called to the bar, to brazenly lie to the house. I will not tolerate it.

Mr PENGILLY: Just a question, for clarification. Is it recorded in the Hansard, because I did not hear it?

The SPEAKER: I do not think our Hansard could possibly have heard it. The member for Morialta was on song; he has two minutes.
