A Queensland Greens politician has been punted from parliament after falling foul of the rules, with the party leader also in a spot of bother.
South Brisbane MP Amy McMahon was banned from the building on Wednesday after introducing a bill without the proper approvals.
The proposed legislation would deliver cost of living relief payments in exchange for gas royalties, but was not signed off by the governor as required.
Dr MacMahon maintained she had done nothing wrong.
"We put forward these bills in good faith wanting them to be debated, considered and go to scrutiny from the public as well," she told reporters outside parliament.
"We will continue to put in bills that will benefit everyday Queenslanders."
The Greens were given 30 minutes verbal notice of the suspension but received nothing in writing.
Leader of the house Yvette D'Ath also moved that Greens leader Michael Berkman be found in contempt over comments made during debate about community safety.
Instead of withdrawing his comments, Mr Berkman left the chamber.
He's been referred to the ethics committee to determine a penalty.
"In my view, it is an abuse of the standing orders for the leader of the house to pretend that she's taken personal offence when I'm making comment on the government," Mr Berkman said.
"Petty is one way to describe it, I can think of a few other choice words that I wont put on the record.
"It's just dumb the way that that parliamentary processes are used and abused to silence people and to kick people out of the precinct."
