Speaker David Carter gave a ruling following a request from an MP last week. He reiterated MPs should not discuss cases before the court in the House. He also said it was wrong for any MPs to accuse each other of corruption as this offended the House, accusations of corruption should be taken to the Speaker.

MPs then began Question Time.
