Christopher Pyne I am grateful that the House decided not to gag my speech on this suspension motion. What we are witnessing tonight is one of the most petulant and juvenile displays I have ever seen in this House from government change deniers— Tony Burke Madam Speaker, on a point of order, we have a resolution before us for a suspension of standing orders. The Leader of the House is speaking to other issues and needs to refer specifically to whether or not standing orders should be suspended under the motion before the House. Bronwyn Bishop I am sure the Leader of the House will refer to why standing orders should be so suspended. Christopher Pyne The reason why the standing orders should not be suspended is that this side of the House would like to get on with the business of government. We have an infrastructure bill before the House. I have moved the contingency motion so that there will be a third reading on the bill, and I have moved that the bill be now read a third time. Unlike the government change deniers on the other side of the House, the government wants to get on with the business of the parliament. The House should have risen at 9.30, so standing orders should not be suspended, because this is a silly game—a very embarrassing, petulant display by the acting Manager of Opposition Business in the House, who is being run by the former Leader of the House. Tony Burke Madam Speaker, on a point of order, the comments made by the Leader of the House should be withdrawn under standing order 90. Bronwyn Bishop There is no point of order. Christopher Pyne Thank you, Madam Speaker. They are not the least bit unparliamentary. I know you are showing off in front of— Tony Burke Madam Speaker, on a point of order, I do not see how those comments could be anything other than a reflection on members, which is what standing order 90 refers to. Bronwyn Bishop If my memory serves me correctly, unless a reflection is on a specific individual member, it is in order. I cal
