Mr STEPHEN JONES (Throsby) (14:45): My question is to the Prime Minister. I refer to the Prime Minister's secret plan to cut every single dollar from public hospitals, forcing the states to hit Australians with a new hospital tax. Government members interjecting— The SPEAKER: Silence on my right! Mr STEPHEN JONES: How much will parents have to pay— Government members interjecting— The SPEAKER: There will be silence on my right! Mr STEPHEN JONES: to have their sick child seen by a doctor in an emergency department? Honourable members interjecting— The SPEAKER: I call the Leader of the House. There will be silence all round, please. Mr Pyne: Madam Speaker, both the government and I think that you as chair have been extremely tolerant today of the assertions, argument and hypothetical nature of all of these questions. There is no such plan, and making the assertion and arguing that there is in the question really rule the question out of order. If the opposition can ask a question that is specific to a real government policy, that is quite different to this ludicrous hypothetical question that we are being asked time after time by the opposition. The SPEAKER: I will hear from the Manager of Opposition Business. Mr Burke: To the point of order: it would be extraordinary if we now view as hypothetical documents that are distributed from the Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet. The— Honourable members interjecting— The SPEAKER: The Manager of Opposition Business has the call. Have you completed your point? Mr Burke: Yes. The SPEAKER: Good. I think it would be better if the member for Throsby rephrased his question— Government members interjecting— The SPEAKER: without debate and without hypotheticals. Mr STEPHEN JONES: I refer to the plan that the Prime Minister advised would be published this afternoon, which plans to cut every single dollar from public hospital funding, forcing the states to hit Australians with a new hospital tax. Government members interjecting— Mr STEPHEN JONES: How much will parents have to pay to have their sick child seen by a doctor in an emergency department? The SPEAKER: The noise that came from the government benches on this occasion made it very difficult to hear that question, but I do understand that the Prime Minister heard it. I will let it stand.
