Mr TANNER (4:00 PM) —Mr Speaker, I have a question about the warning that you issued to me earlier on today. It seemed to imply that the impact of a warning on a previous day could somehow flow through to subsequent sitting days. Could you clarify whether when a member receives a warning on another sitting day that may be the basis on which they could be ejected without a warning being issued to them on the day on which you seek to eject them?

The SPEAKER —I think, if the member for Melbourne had listened carefully to what I said to him before, he would have noted that I said that I have either given him a warning or taken action every sitting day this year. Given that, and given the way I gave him his warning today, I think he ought to reflect carefully on what I said.

Mr TANNER —With due respect, I have reflected carefully on what you have said and that is why I asked you a question.

The SPEAKER —I thank the member for Melbourne and I have given him a response.
