QUESTIONS WITHOUT NOTICE

Mr ALBANESE (Grayndler—Prime Minister) (15:02): I would say to the member for Fowler that, if she's got a suggestion or an allegation about anyone in the chamber, she should actually say what it is and preferably say it outside. This isn't a council. This is a serious parliament, and one of the things that we do— The SPEAKER: The member for Fowler, on a point of order?

Ms Le: I think the Prime Minister should have some respect in the House. The SPEAKER: Resume your seat. The House is going to come to order so the Prime Minister can deal with the question.

Mr ALBANESE: No-one has done more for local government in this House than me. Part of the critique from some in the three right-wing parties and their cheer squad outside has been that there wasn't enough consultation before the tax announcements that were made. We were very careful, as always occurs and, I'm sure, has always occurred for as long as I've been here, across the board, whoever has been the Treasurer and gone through our ERC processes.

That is something that we have in this country that we should cherish and we should honour, not denigrate to try to score a cheap point. I make this point—around 65,000 taxpayers in Fowler will benefit from the WATO. When it comes to student debt relief, 24,000 people benefited.

There have been 3.4 million cheaper scripts in the electorate of Fowler. There is the Liverpool Medicare Urgent Care Clinic—I note that all our urgent care clinics are now open—has received 19,900 visits, and there are now 86 fully bulk-billed practices in Fowler— The SPEAKER: Order. The member for Fowler has taken her point of order.

Resume your seat. I'm not entertaining the point of order. Mr ALBANESE: And I had the pleasure, it must be said, with the member for Werriwa and the member for McMahon, of being in south-west Sydney just yesterday.

It's a great part of Sydney. We were there for the opening of an Assyrian community hall at St Yosip's. It's a fantastic community and it was great to spend more time in south-west Sydney.

I look forward to spending more time in the months and years ahead in south-west Sydney, advocating for the interests of the people there genuinely.
