Rulings from the Chair
Unparliamentary language
The DEPUTY SPEAKER (14:53): On 28 May 2025 the member for Evelyn raised a point of order regarding disparaging language used by another member. The Speaker undertook to review the footage. Having reviewed the footage, it is not clear that any disparaging language was used, and I rule the point of order out of order. However, I remind all members that in accordance with the standing orders members must not use offensive or unbecoming words in relation to another member. I would also encourage us all at all times to consider that we were elected here by 50,000-odd people and when we use language to each other we are also speaking to them.
