Ms GILLARD (Lalor—Prime Minister) (14:40): How can the opposition assert that it is focusing on the nation's interests and not pursuing nasty personal politics when it goes down this track? Mr Laming: You are corrupt! The SPEAKER: The individual will withdraw. Mr Laming: I withdraw. The SPEAKER: Further, the member for Bowman will leave the chamber under 94(a) and will count himself very, very lucky. The Prime Minister will resume her seat. I call the Manager of Opposition Business. Mr Pyne: The Prime Minister made an offensive remark across the chamber to the Leader of the Opposition and I, and I ask that it be withdrawn. The SPEAKER: Will the Prime Minister withdraw for the good of the House? Ms Gillard: No. I did not make an offensive remark. What I said is that this is the strategy of the Leader of the Opposition and I hope that he is proud of it, given what it has led to in the House. I have dealt with these— The SPEAKER: Prime Minister, what I asked is if you would withdraw for the good of the House, given the nature of the debate. If you could do that so that we can progress, I would appreciate it. Ms Gillard: Certainly. I withdraw. The strategy of the Leader of the Opposition is offensive. It is in contrast to his remarks yesterday. I have dealt with these matters on the public record extensively, and no amount of bellowing by those who sit opposite changes that in any way. All this is a cover-up for the fact that they do not have and will never have a plan for the nation's future. Ms Julie Bishop: Madam Speaker, I rise on a point of order. I find it offensive as a woman that the Prime Minister would suggest that I am being dictated to by somebody else. These are my questions. She is not answering them. The SPEAKER: The Deputy Leader of the Opposition will resume her seat. Mr Perrett interjecting— The SPEAKER: The member for Moreton is warned. I call the member for Wakefield.
