Pairing Arrangements

The Hon. S.C. MULLIGHAN (Lee) (14:56): My question is to the Leader of Government Business. Did he direct the member for Hammond to dishonour the pair agreement with the opposition on 12 February this year?

The SPEAKER: Member for Lee, with regard to pair arrangements, they are a private arrangement and I uphold my earlier answer. I have given you another question. Previous speakers may have held such repeat of a question to be a naming offence. I do not. I have given you another go. I am moving to the member for Florey, and I will come back to the member for Lee.

The Hon. S.C. MULLIGHAN: Mr Speaker, I must object to your ruling.

The SPEAKER: Well, if you would like to object to my ruling, you can do so via the relevant motion.
