The new Speaker of the House of Reps Harry Jenkins spent a lot of time during the first parliamentary sitting days smiling and chortling at the words and antics of certain MPs.
Predicably he found himself with a noisy, back chatting and often disrespectful House.
Question Time yesterday saw him finally decide that enough was enough.
However he didn't convince the Liberals Joe Hockey, who continued to abuse points of order with gay abandon.
Perhaps the Speaker will have more success when the House resumes after its break.
He can practice in the mirror at keeping the grin off his face while he waits.
