House of RepresentativesWednesday 9 September 2026

QUESTIONS WITHOUT NOTICE

Mr PASIN (Barker) (14:09): My question is to the Prime Minister. Seventy-three per cent of funding from Labor's $560 million secret, invite-only grant scheme went to projects in Labor electorates, including a $6 million grant to the Marrickville Golf Club, of which the Prime Minister has not declared his own honorary membership. When the Prime Minister said 'shameless pork-barrelling must stop, and it will, under a Labor government,' was that just another broken promise?

The SPEAKER: Before I call the Prime Minister, the member for Barton will leave the chamber under 94(a). She has been continuously interjecting on every question. It's completely unacceptable.

The member for Barton then left the chamber . Honourable members interjecting— The SPEAKER: When the House comes to order and interjections— Mr Pasin interjecting— The SPEAKER: Order, the member for Barker! I'm bringing the House to order.

You've asked your question. The Prime Minister will now be heard.
