In Australia, a senator was able to accuse a homosexual High Court of Australia judge of "trawling for rough trade" with utter legal impunity because the comments were made in session.
They do have a book, archaic as it might be, of what you can and can not say in the House of Commons, words etc that are not proper, and it has been added on over the years. Now, what kind of reprimand they get, that I am not certain of, but there is supposed to be some bar of proper etiquette. Like I said though, too many times, the whole lot of them behave very disgracefully.

You are referring to Robert's Rules of Order, I take it. They govern protocol and decorum in assembly. The Rules of Order are not statutory however and do not override the entrenched common law principle of parliamentary privilege.

Defamation has nothing to do with hurting people's feelings.
