Mr SHORTEN (Maribyrnong—Leader of the Opposition) (14:00): My question is to the Prime Minister, affectionately known as the 'bowser bandit'. Has the Prime Minister done a dirty deal with the Greens? Mr Pyne: Madam Speaker, I rise on a point of order. As 'electricity' Bill knows that kind of thing is out of order and you should ask him to withdraw it. And I will withdraw in advance! Mr Burke: Madam Speaker— The SPEAKER: Both members will resume their seats. I think we will refrain from using either epithet. Mr SHORTEN: My question is to the Prime Minister. Has— Mr Pyne: Madam Speaker, as 'backstabbing' Bill well knows those kinds of epithets are not allowed— Opposition members interjecting— The SPEAKER: There will be silence on my left! Mr Pyne: I asked him to withdraw, and I withdrew in advance. And I am happy to withdraw in advance again! And we can keep playing this game until the Leader of the Opposition withdraws. The SPEAKER: The Leader of the Opposition may assist the House— Mr SHORTEN: Yes. I withdraw the reference that was used in the Herald-Sun today about the Prime Minister. My question is to the Prime Minister. Has the Prime Minister done a dirty deal with the Greens to increase petrol tax? An incident having occurred in the chamber— The SPEAKER: That is almost worthy of just choosing six and saying, 'Leave immediately.' That is a deliberate and flagrant abuse of the ruling I have made about props being used in this chamber and I would ask the attendants to go around and collect them. Honourable members interjecting— The SPEAKER: The member for Wakefield will leave under 94(a) and so will the member for Griffith! Immediately! The member for Wakefield and the member for Griffith then left the chamber. Honourable members interjecting— The SPEAKER: And I can see the members for Adelaide, Port Adelaide and Blaxland. They will leave! The member for Adelaide, the member for Port Adelaide and the member for Blaxland then left the chamber. The SPEAKER: I call the honourable member for Herbert. Mr Ewen Jones: My question is to the Prime Minister. Will the Prime Minister please update the House on progress— Opposition members interjecting— Mr SHORTEN: Madam Speaker— The SPEAKER: The member for Herbert will resume his seat. The Leader of the Opposition was lost in the hubbub. Mr SHORTEN: Madam Speaker, I ask again— The SPEAKER: No, you do not need to. The Prime Minister has the call. Mr SHORTEN: You said he was lost in the hubbub— The SPEAKER: I said you were. Resume your seat. The Prime Minister has the call.
