Mr HOWARTH (Petrie) (15:00): My question is to the Minister for Justice. Will the minister please inform the House of measures in the budget to keep our streets safe? Mr Burke: Madam Speaker, I rise on a point of order. It is on the same ruling that you just gave. If ministers are being asked to speculate on what might happen in the future, apparently now it is not allowed. That is exactly what just happened! If we are not allowed to ask a question about the reduction— The SPEAKER: The member will resume his seat! If the Manager of Opposition Business cares to go back through the Hansard, he will see— Mr Perrett interjecting— The SPEAKER: The member for Moreton is warned! The Manager of Opposition Business will see that where there is a question asked that is phrased in terms of other suggestions on offer that that is a mechanism that has been used by both sides of the House. I give the call— Mr Burke: I was raising a different point of order to the 'other policies' argument that you just ruled upon. The SPEAKER: What are you asking a point of order on? Mr Burke: I am raising that the question he is asking about the future implementation of policies of this government is in the same way as the implementation of what happens when unemployment figures— The SPEAKER: No, there is no point of order. Mr Burke: in the budget changes the entire trajectory of the budget. The SPEAKER: No. Mr Burke: It is reasonable that we can ask the Treasurer— The SPEAKER: No, it— Mr Burke: what will happen if unemployment changes. How can that not be a proper question for the parliament? The SPEAKER: The member will resume his seat. It is a hypothetical question and out of order. Mr Burke: But it says— The SPEAKER: The member for Petrie is asking a question to the Minister for Justice, and he can repeat the question! Mr HOWARTH: My question is to the Minister for Justice. Will the minister please inform the House of measures in the budget to keep our streets safe?
