House of RepresentativesThursday 2 July 2026

QUESTIONS WITHOUT NOTICE

Well, I haven't finished what I was going to say, but it's okay, everyone. I can see what's happening. If the Prime Minister is going to use any quote from industry, from the parliament, from a shadow minister or from a minister, he's got to make sure it's directly relevant.

I have rulings here about previous speakers allowing comments to be made. He can't talk about opposition policy. He wasn't talking about opposition policy.

He was talking about the government's policy and what the shadow minister's response was, and that is within the standing orders. There are examples where that happens. So just to make sure, if the Prime Minister is using a quote, he's got to be directly relevant to the question.
