Mr SHORTEN (Maribyrnong—Leader of the Opposition) (14:18): My question is to the Prime Minister. Just weeks before the New South Wales state election, it has been reported that the Prime Minister's unfair GP tax will be scrapped. This is not the first time that the Prime Minister has made announcements on the eve of a vote. Why should the Prime Minister's claims before another state election be viewed any differently from the straight-out lies he told voters before the federal election? The SPEAKER: That is an unparliamentary term. The member will remove that term. Mr SHORTEN: All right, Madam Speaker. The SPEAKER: Just the end of it. Mr SHORTEN: How can anyone believe anything that this Prime Minister says before an election? The SPEAKER: I would remind the Leader of the Opposition that he knows perfectly well that that is an unparliamentary term and not to use it again.
