Parliamentary Procedure

Member's Remarks

The SPEAKER: Member for Florey, I understand—

Ms BEDFORD (Florey) (11:01): I seek your indulgence and assistance. I rise on what I think is a point of order, 125 and 127, and I refer to the remarks I made yesterday at the beginning of parliament. Unfortunately, this is the first opportunity I have to raise this point with you. During the discussion, the member for Unley was interjecting and one of the remarks he made was recorded on Hansard. He said, 'Straight out of the Trump book. Donald Trump would be very proud of that.' I tell you, Mr Speaker, I am deeply offended by that remark and I seek your assistance to have the member for Unley withdraw and apologise for it at the first possible opportunity.

The SPEAKER: I thank you, member for Florey, for bringing that to my attention. I understand that is the first possible opportunity for you to do so. I do not have the Hansard before me, but I do not at this stage require reference to it. The member for Unley is not present in the chamber. What I propose to do is to ensure that the matter is brought to attention and that it may be responded to at the first possible opportunity.
