Ms JULIE BISHOP (Curtin—Deputy Leader of the Opposition) (14:38): My question is to the Prime Minister. I refer the Prime Minister to her answer yesterday when she sought to excuse breaking her 2002 promise to turn back the boats because 'people smugglers changed the way they worked'. How does the Prime Minister reconcile her answer with the statement of the then Leader of the Opposition, the member for Griffith, before the 2007 election: 'Labor's policy is that if people are intercepted on the high seas then those vessels should be turned around'—or didn't she support that promise in 2007? Mr Albanese: Speaker, on a point of order: argument upon argument upon argument. That question is clearly out of order. Mr Pyne: Madam Speaker, on the point of order: I am trying to assist the House, and assist you as well in particular. The reason the question, of course, is relevant to the Prime Minister and is not an argument is that the current Prime Minister was then the Deputy Leader of the Labor Party and would, you would assume, have signed up to the promises of the member for Griffith, who was then the Leader of the Opposition. That is why we are asking that question. Mr Albanese: Speaker, further to my point of order: that just proves my first point. The SPEAKER: The question contained substantive argument but, given the standards that we have been seeing over question time, it is within the range. I will allow the question, but I will listen carefully to the Prime Minister's answer.
