QUESTIONS WITHOUT NOTICE

Mr TAYLOR (Hume) (14:17): My question is to the Treasurer. Can the Treasurer confirm that housing rents have risen 17 per cent during Labor's cost-of-living crisis since the election of the Albanese Labor government? Honourable members interjecting— The SPEAKER: Order!

Members on my left don't need to add commentary during question time, and members on my right don't need to give me a running commentary on what you think of the question either. I'm just going to ask all members that, when a question is asked, everyone is heard in silence, and once someone begins saying something—obviously that might spark a reaction; I understand that—just allow everything to follow its natural course.
