Ms GILLARD (Lalor—Prime Minister) (14:17): I have dealt with these matters publicly. Opposition members: No! Ms GILLARD: Before the dirt team starts catcalling, let us be very clear here. I have dealt with these allegations publicly and I can guarantee that what the Deputy Leader of the Opposition refers to was not to my benefit and did not pay for renovations at my home. This is smear, pure and simple. What the Deputy Leader of the Opposition said in her question before—the allegation there about clothing—was smear, pure and simple. Opposition members: Not clothing! Ms GILLARD: Well, the allegation about whatever the— Ms Julie Bishop interjecting— The SPEAKER: Order! The Deputy Leader of the Opposition has asked her question. Ms GILLARD: There is no amount of screaming that makes this falsehood true. I have answered this clearly and publicly on the public record now since 1995. I paid for the renovations at my home. This is smear, pure and simple. Let us see how the opposition has put this smear, pure and simple, together. First, the Deputy Leader of the Opposition has spent time with a man who has said he believes he is guilty of fraud and is looking for immunity from that fraud as well as a series of other assertions about his conduct that he himself has made that would make you wonder why the Deputy Leader of the Opposition would spend time with such a person. Then the Deputy Leader of the Opposition today has referred to an affidavit from Bob Kernohan. It is a matter of longstanding public record that this affidavit was drawn up by John Pasquarelli of One Nation. So there we have the Deputy Leader of the Opposition meeting with a man who, on his own admission, is guilty of fraud, and there is the Deputy Leader of the Opposition coming into this parliament and relying on the work of One Nation for smear, pure and simple. Mr Pyne: Madam Speaker, I rise on a point of order. The matters that the Prime Minister is going to have absolutely nothing to do with the question she was asked, which was about the $10,000 paid to K Spyridis. She was asked if it was for her home renovations. The SPEAKER: The Manager of Opposition Business will resume his seat. Mr Albanese: He's got his dirt file with him! Mr Pyne: Do you want it? You can have it! The SPEAKER: The Manager of Opposition Business will remove that folder and not use it as a prop for the rest of question time, because otherwise we are just going to have childish antics for the rest of the afternoon. The Prime Minister has the call. Ms GILLARD: Thank you very much, Madam Speaker, and you are absolutely right; the terminology 'childish antics' is absolutely right. Mr Hockey: Answer the question! Ms GILLARD: I have answered the question. It is absolutely right—childish antics, sleaze and smear, because we are dealing with an opposition with not one policy for the nation's future, a man who is incapable of generating a policy for the nation's future and a man who does not have the guts to front this sleaze campaign himself.
