QUESTIONS WITHOUT NOTICE

Mr TAYLOR (Hume—Leader of the Opposition) (14:52): Prime Minister, yesterday the Minister for Veterans' Affairs admitted he got it wrong in refusing to meet with veterans to discuss Labor's cruel cap on allied health services. He also got it wrong in trying to put a use by date on medallic recognition. He got it wrong in refusing to support the Invictus Games and he got it wrong in cutting funding for the family of fallen Victoria Cross hero Cameron Baird VC MG.

Why won't the Prime Minister sack this incompetent and disrespectful minister? Ms Coker interjecting— The SPEAKER: Order! The member for Corangamite will leave the chamber under 94(a).

She's on a warning. It's highly disorderly to interject on anyone, particularly the Leader of the Opposition during his question. The rules apply to everyone in this place.

The Prime Minister has the call.
