Editing Point of order (section)

=== Australia ===
In the [[Australian House of Representatives]] a member may raise a point of order with the Speaker at any time,<ref name=SO86>S.O. 86, House of Representatives Standing Orders</ref> including interrupting another member who is speaking.<ref>S.O 66, House of Representatives Standing Orders</ref> Once raised a point of order results in the suspension of all other business until the Speaker has given a ruling.<ref name=SO86/> A member may dissent from the ruling of a speaker, which must be declared at once, a motion submitted in writing to that effect and the motion must be seconded. The Speaker must then propose the question, which is debatable.<ref>S.O. 87, House of Representatives Standing Orders</ref>

Deriving from British practice, and due to the requirement to remain seated during a division, in the [[Australian House of Representatives]] it continues to be customary for a member raising a point of order while the House is voting to hold a sheet of paper over the top of their head.<ref>{{cite web|title=House of Representatives Practice, 6th Ed – HTML version: Order of business and the sitting day|url=http://www.aph.gov.au/About_Parliament/House_of_Representatives/Powers_practice_and_procedure/Practice6/Practice6HTML?file=Chapter8&section=09|website=Parliament of Australia|access-date=3 September 2016}}</ref>
