Mr IAN MACFARLANE (Groom—Minister for Industry) (14:19): I thank the member for Kennedy for his question, which is fairly wide ranging. Can I just make it clear that there are a number of airlines operating in Australia and another of the airlines has access to international routes, and it is also an Australian airline. Mr Katter: And its maintenance is based overseas. The SPEAKER: The member has asked his question. He will not further interject. The minister has the call. Mr IAN MACFARLANE: I hope that, by that interjection, the member for Kennedy is not intimating that Qantas is the only airline in Australia that is safe to fly, because that is simply not true. The reality is that what this debate about is ensuring the longevity of Qantas. We on this side are about keeping Qantas well into the future. We on this side want to make sure that Qantas is able to keep flying. We want to put Qantas on a level playing field with other Australian airlines—other Australian based airlines. Those on that side— Mr Perrett interjecting— The SPEAKER: The member for Moreton is warned! Mr Katter: Madam Speaker, I rise on a point of order. The question I am asking is that the maintenance is based overseas— The SPEAKER: Just state the point of order. If the member is raising a point of order on relevance—are you? Mr Katter: Yes, absolutely, Madam Speaker. The SPEAKER: Then it is a wide-ranging question and the minister is in order. Mr IAN MACFARLANE: Madam Speaker, what we need in this debate is for those who sit on that side—those in the Labor Party in the chamber opposite—to actually give Qantas a chance. Give the workers of Qantas a chance. Give them a future and get out of the way and let the Qantas Act be repealed.
