Mr SHORTEN (Maribyrnong—Leader of the Opposition) (14:27): My question is directed to the Prime Minister. The member for Farrer has repeatedly refused to inoculate the childcare rebate and payments from the Productivity Commission recommendations, in her last two questions. On the other hand, before the election, the coalition was saying— The SPEAKER: Order! The Leader of the Opposition will put that piece of paper down that he is holding up. Mr SHORTEN: there was no chance of touching the childcare rebate. The SPEAKER: Your time has expired. Mr SHORTEN: Can we stop the weasel words, Prime Minister, for our parents' sakes and their childcare payments? The SPEAKER: Order! Before I call the Leader of the House, I would say to the Leader of the Opposition it would be nice if you were courteous and used the courtesies of the House, and when I say to you that time has expired, it has expired. I call the Leader of the House. Mr Pyne: Madam Speaker, on a point of order: I simply point out that—I am sure the Leader of the Opposition would like to rewind that entire incident but he has not actually asked a question of anybody on this side of the House; therefore I am wondering whether—we have an answer prepared, or would you like to move to the next questioner? I am not sure what the question is, Madam Speaker. The SPEAKER: There is no point of order. The point is that the Leader of the Opposition did make a statement, which could be interpreted as a question. I will put it to the Prime Minister to answer, should he wish.
