Member for MacKillop

Mr MALINAUSKAS (Croydon—Leader of the Opposition) (14:22): My question is to the Premier. Why did the member for MacKillop have to threaten to quit the Liberal Party before the Premier agreed to improve the flow of communications between the parliamentary party and regional members?

The Hon. D.C. VAN HOLST PELLEKAAN: Point of order, sir: argument in that question. It is against standing order 97.

The SPEAKER: I uphold the point of order. I might add that it's also squarely out of order pursuant to standing order 96. I disallow the question. I will move along.
