Mr SHORTEN (Maribyrnong—Leader of the Opposition) (14:33): My question is to the Prime Minister. I refer to the article by Mark Hawthorne in today's Age, which refers to Holden's internal reaction to government statements in question time on Tuesday: 'Are you seeing this question time attack on Holden? Taunting [Holden] to leave. It's extraordinary.' Prime Minister, isn't it the case that instead of developing a plan to keep Holden in Australia the government bullied, hectored and backgrounded Holden out of this country? Mr Pyne: Madam Speaker, I rise on a point of order. On two heads the question fails. Firstly, because, as you pointed out to the Deputy Leader of the Opposition earlier this week, it is not enough to name an article in the newspaper and then simply read out a quote. Who made that quote that the Leader of the Opposition has simply read out? It is not an intelligible part of the question and therefore it cannot stand as a question. Secondly, the actual supposed question was a litany of arguments and epithets and does not stand as a question. When the opposition can get its questions within standing orders, we are more than happy to answer them. But that question does not fit within the standing orders. Mr Burke: Madam Speaker, on the point of order, in terms of authentication: to provide the name of the article, to provide the author of it—to provide those specifics—certainly authenticates the exact quote that was used. If there is an issue with argument, notwithstanding they are words that are used regularly in this chamber, then that is an issue as to whether or not you may want it to be reworded. The SPEAKER: I think I will ask the Leader of the Opposition to reword his question. If I can just add that the difference between the example we just had, of a letter which was authenticated, and a newspaper article, is quite distinctive. I ask the Leader of the Opposition to reword his question. Mr SHORTEN: Thank you, Madam Speaker. I have the newspaper article for the assistance of the House. I understand it was the Treasurer who was taunting Holden. I refer to the article by Mark Hawthorne from today's Age—here it is, for authentication purposes. Government members interjecting— The SPEAKER: The Leader of the Opposition has the call! Mr SHORTEN: Thank you. I think we all understand what the article was saying, so the question is: Prime Minister, isn't it the case that, instead of developing a plan to keep Holden in Australia, the government gave Holden no choice but to leave?
