Member for Bright

The SPEAKER (14:08): I note that in InDaily, the member for Bright criticised as 'an overreaction' my removing from the house one of his guests who shouted at a member, 'Piss off, you idiot.' The former Speaker, Graham McDonald Gunn, of blessed memory—

Mr Marshall: A sage Speaker.

The SPEAKER: The Leader of the Opposition says 'a sage Speaker'—would have turfed the member for Bright for such insubordination. I am a merciful man. However, the member for Bright's statement is the prism through which I will see any future points of order from him.
