 The SPEAKER (14:02): On 30 October at the end of question time the Leader of the Opposition took a point of order seeking the Chair’s guidance on the honesty of a ministers statement. I advise the house that, while members are required to be factual, the veracity of a member’s comments is a matter for the house, not the Chair. Further, while members may use a personal explanation to correct the record, the Chair cannot require this step. Accordingly, there is no point of order.
