The member for Sturt will resume his seat. He cannot justify people’s unruly behaviour in any manner. I suggest to the member for Sturt that an occupant of the chair gets wary of devices being used to place on the record comments that are out of order. In the case of the member for Durack—and it is a blessing for me—he exactly identified the document that he wished to have tabled. He then decided that he would go on to describe it or put a case. That was unfortunate for him, because I can say that, when I asked whether House gave leave for the tabling, the document had been clearly identified. Leave was not granted. I will not allow people to use devices to place on the record argument. The member for Petrie has the call.
