Mr MELHAM (Banks) (14:46): My question is to the Minister for Immigration and Citizenship and it is about the expert panel report on asylum seeker policy. Why is it important for the parliament to listen to the advice of experts and work in the national interest to tackle people smuggling and deter people from taking dangerous boat journeys to Australia? Opposition members interjecting— The DEPUTY SPEAKER ( Ms AE Burke ): The member for Banks will resume his seat. Before I call the minister—the minister will resume his seat—I will have silence, as I actually did not hear the last part of the question. Mr Abbott interjecting— The DEPUTY SPEAKER: The Leader of the Opposition is not trying to help. He is being rather obnoxious, and I take offence. I will ask the member for Banks to repeat the last part of the question. It was not disgraceful. The Leader of the Opposition's very helpful comments might desist in the next couple of weeks, as I am finding them intolerable. Mr MELHAM: The last part of the question is: and work in the national interest to tackle people smuggling and deter people from taking dangerous boat journeys to Australia?
