QUESTIONS WITHOUT NOTICE

Dr WEBSTER (Mallee) (14:40): My question is to the Prime Minister. The latest data shows around 40,000 nurses, 38,000 teachers and almost 10,000 police officers have negatively geared properties. Why is the Prime Minister— Government members interjecting— The SPEAKER: Order, members on my right!

I can't hear the question. If people persist, they won't be here to hear the answer either. The member for Mallee will begin her question again.

Dr WEBSTER: My question is to the Prime Minister. The latest data shows around 40,000 nurses, 38,000 teachers and almost 10,000 police officers have negatively geared properties. Why is the Prime Minister now pulling up the ladder on our nurses, teachers and police when he's been happy to climb it himself?

Ms Chesters interjecting— The SPEAKER: The member for Bendigo is warned.
