Mr BOWEN (McMahon) (14:24): Madam Speaker, my question is to the Treasurer. Treasurer, a senior Liberal has described the budget as 'a stinking carcass hanging around the government's neck'. Why are the Prime Minister and the Treasurer taking money from schools and hospitals—taxpayers' money—to promote their stinking carcass of a budget? Mr Pyne interjecting— The SPEAKER: The Leader of the House will resume his seat. When the member from McMahon phrases his question in those terms, I think it reflects more on the asker of the question. It certainly could never be described as an elegant question, but it will stand. Mr Pyne: Madam Speaker, my objection to the question is not so much the argument but the fact that a quotation needs to be sourced. A quotation that is simply an anonymous statement could be merely speculative; it could have been anybody at all. It is not a question that is in order. The opposition has a myriad of opportunities to find quotations that could be in order, that one is not. The SPEAKER: I think it is a moot point. I am going to allow the question to stand.
