QUESTIONS WITHOUT NOTICE

Senator RUSTON (South Australia—Deputy Leader of the Opposition in the Senate) (14:07): When asked yesterday about why he didn't declare his honorary membership of the Marrickville Golf Club, the Prime Minister told the parliament he didn't declare the membership because 'I don't play golf'. If the Prime Minister doesn't think he needs to declare a golf club membership because 'I don't play golf', why did he then declare on his parliamentary register of interests that he is an honorary member of the Royal Sydney Golf Club?

Senator McKenzie: Turns out he is a bit posh—Royal Sydney! The PRESIDENT: Senator Mckenzie, don't continue with the running commentary.
