Opposition energy spokesman Dan Tehan was removed from Australia's House of Representatives (the lower house of the federal parliament in Canberra) on 17 August after defying the Speaker's order to moderate his language during question time. Tehan initially asked Climate Minister Chris Bowen to "cut the crap" about the government's Capacity Investment Scheme — a renewable energy funding programme — and, when warned by Speaker Milton Dick, repeated the sentiment using the Latin phrase "faecal matter" instead. Dick ruled that Tehan had completely disrespected the chair and ejected him from the chamber, skipping his question entirely.
