Members interjecting:

The PRESIDENT: Order!

The Hon. R.P. WORTLEY: Pursuant to standing order 107, my question is to the Hon. Mr Ben Hood.

Is the member aware that by not answering my first question today it would indicate that he supported the actions of Professor Joanna Howe in the chamber last month?

Members interjecting:

The PRESIDENT: Order! I have a crossbench question. Is there a crossbencher who would like to ask a question? The Hon. Ms Franks.
