Mr ALBANESE (Grayndler) (14:51): My question is to the Deputy Prime Minister. I refer to his comment this morning relating to Qantas: No one is going to reduce its Australianism and the number of employees that it has in this country … Given the Prime Minister's refusal to endorse your position, and the fact that the government's proposed changes to the Qantas Sale Act will allow Qantas to move maintenance workers, cabin crew and engineers offshore, does he stand by his comments—that no Australian jobs will be lost—of just hours ago? Mr Pyne: Madam Speaker, on a point of order: I put it to you that a question cannot simply be a false assertion followed by political rhetoric. His statement about the Prime Minister's answer to the earlier question is simply false. The opposition needs to sharpen up their act when it comes to questions but this question certainly cannot stand. The SPEAKER: The member for Grayndler on the point of order? Mr Albanese: It was very clear; it is in the transcript from the Deputy Prime Minister on the doors this morning. The SPEAKER: There is no point of order. Mr Albanese: I am happy to table it, so he can remember what he said. The SPEAKER: The member will resume his seat. Mr Albanese: I was trying to help. The SPEAKER: Thank you, I do not require the help of the member for Grayndler. On the point of order raised by the Leader of the House: there is plenty of precedent for statements being made which are refuted in answers, and I am sure ministers are very capable of making their case. I call the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Infrastructure and Regional Development.
