Mr TAYLOR (Hume—Minister for Energy and Emissions Reduction) (14:54): Thank you, Mr Speaker— The SPEAKER: The minister for energy will resume his seat for a second. So will the Manager of Opposition Business. I'm not sure the question asked the minister to refer to his previous answers. I'd just like you to read the opening sentence again. Mr Burke: The opening sentence is: 'Can the minister confirm that so far he has told the House he was representing—' The SPEAKER: That's fine. The Leader of the House? Mr Porter: I think the difficulty with that is that it then completely misrepresents previous answers that have been given by the minister. The SPEAKER: I say to the Leader of the House that whilst I appreciate the point he's been making, Speaker Andrews and other Speakers have made the point that when these claims are made it's a balancing act between whether you let them stand or let the minister actually deal with them in the way that they want to, so that's the approach I'm going to take. I just wanted to check that it did refer to previous answers, and I'm satisfied with that. Mr TAYLOR: I was representing farmers in my electorate. At a time of drought, like this, those opposite should show some respect for those representing farmers in their electorate. What I find most interesting is— Opposition members interjecting — The SPEAKER: The minister will just pause for a second. I am just going to say to those interjecting loudly to my left: if you don't lower the volume, I'll do it through ejections. I'm putting you all on notice. Mr TAYLOR: What I find most interesting is those opposite come into this place, lecturing us about good governance whilst the stench of corruption emanates from Sussex Street. What complete hypocrisy!
