QUESTIONS WITHOUT NOTICE: ADDITIONAL ANSWERS

Mr ALBANESE (Grayndler—Prime Minister) (15:31): I wish to add to an answer. Last week I drew the House's attention to the Senate committee that the Liberals, the Nationals and the Greens are using to look into the operation of the capital gains tax discount. I want to add some additional detail to the answer I gave last week, because, as sure as night follows day, an hour after question time last week Senator Bragg was up in the Sky News studio talking to Tom Connell.

The transcript is worth reviewing and reporting to the House, because I wasn't aware of it. It reads: CONNELL: What have you found [in the Committee] so far? SENATOR BRAGG: Nothing.

We haven't done any work yet— Opposition members interjecting— The SPEAKER: Order! The Prime Minister is giving supplementary information. I don't know what else he's going to say.

I'll listen to what the Prime Minister says to make sure he's adding to the answer not bringing new material into the answer. Mr ALBANESE: It's information for the House: CONNELL: You haven't started? SENATOR BRAGG: We've been on strike—No.

We are going to do some work. No, we've been too busy talking about the internals of the Liberal Party to do any work. Nailed it in one!
