Mr JOHN COBB (Calare) (14:52): My question is to the Prime Minister. I refer the Prime Minister to her statement 12 months ago that the Rudd government had lost its way. I remind her that the government's handling of Australia's live cattle export industry has plunged that industry into crisis, risked jobs and damaged the livelihoods of 17,000 people across Northern Australia. Prime Minister, why can't the government immediately issue an export licence for cattle destined for Australian owned and operated abattoirs in Indonesia? If it does not, can she understand why rural and regional Australians feel so let down by her government? Mr Fitzgibbon: Mr Speaker, on a point of order: I think you will agree that the questions from the opposition today have been consistently in breach of standing order 100, as confirmed by page 540 of House of Representatives Practice. The SPEAKER: I am happy to acknowledge that there is some relevance in the point of order, but I have indicated that I will allow them and, in allowing them, allow greater scope than I would otherwise allow in the response.
