QUESTIONS WITHOUT NOTICE

Ms LEY (Farrer—Leader of the Opposition) (13:59): My question is to the Minister for Communications. Minister, asked when you and your office were first notified about the triple 0 crisis, you said: … we were not notified of the catastrophic outage until late afternoon on Friday 19 September. However, a secret email has revealed the minister's personal office was actually notified 24 hours earlier than what she told the House yesterday.

Minister, how can Australians trust triple 0 to work in an emergency when they cannot even trust you to tell the truth in parliament? The SPEAKER: I'm going to remind members of an issue that I raised yesterday: moving forward with all questions we can just follow the standing orders to make sure the word 'you' is not used. It's just reflecting on the chair.

I'm sure the leader doesn't want that to occur.
