Mr ROBB (Goldstein—Minister for Trade and Investment) (14:45): This is typical Labor: when you are losing the political debate you turn to muckracking. Muckraking is all this is. In regards to mud-slinging: if this is the best you can do, the member for Grayndler, you are losing it. This is pathetic and grubby. Opposition members interjecting— The SPEAKER: There will be silence for the answer. Mr ROBB: For 12 months the member for Grayndler has been asserting to anyone who will bother to listen to him— Ms King: Answer the question! The SPEAKER: The member for Ballarat. Mr ROBB: that we do not have a minister for tourism. Now, today, he is accusing me, via a journalist, of having a conflict of interest as the minister for tourism. Dr Chalmers interjecting— The SPEAKER: The member for Rankin is warned. Mr ROBB: Make up your mind. Are you going to sling mud or are you going to be active in the tourism business? Opposition members interjecting— Mr ROBB: You sit down too. This is grubby. This is very grubby. Mr Dreyfus: You are the grub! You should answer the question. Mr Burke: Madam Speaker, I rise on a point of order. I simply ask that the minister address his comments through the chair. The SPEAKER: Resume your seat. Before I ask the minister to resume the call—and I will listen to the Leader of the House in a moment—this is a serious question that is being answered and I expect some respect from the chamber, and from that end as well. Mr Pyne: Madam Speaker, I rise on a point of order. The member for Isaacs is also using unparliamentary language—unparliamentary language which I have been asked to withdraw in the past. I would ask him to withdraw it. The SPEAKER: I ask the member for Isaacs to withdraw. Mr Dreyfus: I used the same term as the minister and I withdraw, as should the minister. The SPEAKER: Minister, it would assist the House if you would withdraw the term used. Mr ROBB: Madam Speaker, I said it was a grubby business. The SPEAKER: That is quite parliamentary. Mr ROBB: Grubby business is what I said. Is that parliamentary? The SPEAKER: That is parliamentary. Mr Husic interjecting— The SPEAKER: The member for Chifley will leave under 94(a). Mr ROBB: As far as the specific issue that was raised, I fully disclosed the extent of my interest and my involvement in the Boathouse cafes when I was given my current responsibilities 12 months ago. That was fully disclosed. As such, the only relevant issue here is whether I have sought to influence in any way or at any time the approach of Tourism Australia towards this business. The answer to that question is an emphatic no.
