Mr ABBOTT (3:15 PM) —Mr Speaker, I have a question to you. It was fairly obvious during question time today that a number of opposition members, in particular the member for Grayndler, the member for Swan and the member for Lilley, were standing during prime ministerial answers in ways which were clearly designed to block the camera shot of the Prime Minister while he was giving answers.

Mr Tanner —It’s not our fault he’s short.

Opposition members interjecting—

The SPEAKER —Order! I am responding to the question. I thank the Leader of the House for his question. I will view the footage and consider a response.
