Mr ABBOTT (Warringah—Prime Minister) (14:39): I just wish to make two points in response to the member's question. On a day when 5,000 jobs have been lost at Qantas, you would think members opposite would be supporting a job-creating project in Tasmania. I say to the member opposite: if she is serious about this, what is her view? Was this a good proposal or was this a bad proposal? Mr Burke: On a point of order on direct relevance, Madam Speaker: if the Prime Minister is drawing a link because Cadbury is a tourism company and therefore he thinks there is a link with Qantas, maybe. But beyond that there is no relationship between what the Prime Minister is talking about now and the question before the House. Mr Pyne: Madam Speaker, on the point of order: the Prime Minister was good enough to rise to answer this question— Opposition members interjecting— Mr Pyne: but the fact remains that there is a serious question mark over whether this inquiry from the opposition was in order, given that the circumstances they inquired about did not occur while the Prime Minister was the Prime Minister or had any executive responsibility in the way that they are trying to convey. Mr Burke: Madam Speaker, to take a point of order about the content of a question, as you have frequently ruled, it needs to be taken at the time. We would never be allowed to raise the point that he is raising right now. The SPEAKER: The Prime Minister wishes to continue and he has the call. Opposition members interjecting— Mr ABBOTT: The second point I make to the member for Ballarat is that this was a decision taken by the coalition in opposition. It was submitted to the people at the election, and the people supported it.
