Member for Unley, Suspension

The SPEAKER (11:06): The Treasurer will go to his place. In the course of reading the remarks which led to the member for Unley's outburst—and I do not condone turning a suspension under the sessional orders into a big day out by shouting in the gangway, and accordingly the member for Unley was named, and that naming stands—in reading Hansard I noticed something I had not heard at the time.

The Treasurer remarked, 'Who sends the bill, Botox boy?' I regard that as inflammatory, a breach of standing orders, and I require the Treasurer to withdraw and apologise to the house for that kind of behaviour.

The Hon. A. KOUTSANTONIS: Sir, I unreservedly apologise and withdraw for using the term 'Botox boy'.

The SPEAKER: And for that offence I call the Treasurer to order and I warn him.
