Mr LEO McLEAY(7.28 p.m.) —Mr Deputy Speaker, I seek your indulgence on the same matter on which you gave the Chief Government Whip (Mr Andrew) indulgence. Seeing as you are going to discuss this matter with the Speaker, and seeing as you and the Speaker may canvass that ruling, I would ask that you might also canvass with the Speaker a ruling that you made which was exactly the same as that some time ago and which I think was probably the precedent for this issue rather than any other. If we are going to canvass anyone's rulings, let's canvass the lot of them.

Mr DEPUTY SPEAKER —I thank the honourable member for Watson. I have no hesitation in doing that. However, I happen to remember that incident very well. It was a totally different circumstance. It was appropriate at that time to ring the bells for one minute.
