Mr SHORTEN (Maribyrnong—Leader of the Opposition) (15:03): My question is to the Prime Minister. Mr Snowdon interjecting— The SPEAKER: The member for Lingiari will desist! Mr SHORTEN: My question is still to the Prime Minister. It has been confirmed in the other chamber that his government is scrapping the aged-care dementia and severe behaviours supplement. Why is this Prime Minister now ripping away money from our most vulnerable senior Australians, those in residential care with dementia? Just how low can you go? The SPEAKER: I will hear the Leader of the House. Mr Pyne: Madam Speaker, while the House has been focusing on so-called imputations, the last part of the Leader of the Opposition's question was rude and unnecessary, and he should withdraw. The SPEAKER: The Leader of the House makes a valid point. The Leader of the Opposition will withdraw the last part of his question. Mr SHORTEN: Yes, I withdraw that. The question I asked— The SPEAKER: And you will resume your seat, and the Prime Minister can have the call. Mr Shorten: Surely I should rephrase it. The SPEAKER: No, it is not necessary. You have merely withdrawn the unacceptable part. Mr Shorten: I accept that everyone knows what I meant. The SPEAKER: The Leader of the Opposition will withdraw that remark as well. Mr Shorten: Of course, Madam Speaker. I withdraw.
