House of RepresentativesWednesday 27 May 2026

QUESTIONS WITHOUT NOTICE

Resume your seat, member for Goldstein. You have a habit of, each time, walking up to the dispatch box in a dramatic way. Just wait till you're called, and then you will get the call and get to the question.

It works both ways. When questions run out of time, I could easily withdraw questions out of order, but I'm not doing that, and I'd like to give the opposition a fair go with their questions. Each time someone yells out, 'Time!' we can have this discussion again, and we can easily go down this path.

I have got an account of the amount of times opposition members have gone over the time, and the questions will be ruled out, but I like to include as many questions as possible. If you could assist the Speaker by not interjecting, 'Time!' it would be greatly appreciated.
