QUESTIONS WITHOUT NOTICE

Ms WATSON-BROWN (Ryan) (14:25): My question is to the Prime Minister. The Australian Council of Trade Unions recently called on the government to implement a four-day working week. Studies have shown that this improves the health and happiness of workers and significantly boosts businesses' productivity.

When will the government commit to a national plan for a four-day working week with no loss of pay? Honourable members interjecting— The SPEAKER: Order! There was far too much noise when that member was asking a question.

She's entitled to ask a question like anyone else. We do not need the commentary or laughing or guffawing.
