Mr TURNBULL (Wentworth—Prime Minister) (14:14): I thank the honourable member for Parramatta for her question. We are seeing the same questions about GST on rent that were asked yesterday. This is the same game of fantasy politics, asserting the government has a particular policy. Let me respond by posing this question: what has happened to the Labor Party since 1996? What has happened? The answer is it has gone back to the old anvil. It has walked away— The SPEAKER: The Prime Minister will resume his seat. Ms Owens interjecting— The SPEAKER: The member for Parramatta has asked her question and will not interject! Ms Plibersek interjecting— The SPEAKER: The member for Sydney will cease interjecting! I am trying to call the member for Watson. Mr Burke: Mr Speaker, I rise on a point of order. The point of order is on direct relevance. The national conversation cannot be the Prime Minister asking questions of himself! The SPEAKER: The member for Watson will resume his seat. Mr Mitchell interjecting— The SPEAKER: The member for McEwen will cease interjecting. Mr TURNBULL: In the interests of considering why the Labor Party is incapable of playing anything other than the old politics— Mr Husic interjecting— The SPEAKER: The member for Chifley is warned! Mr TURNBULL: I ask the question again: what has happened to the Labor Party since 1996? It has gone back to the old anvil. It has walked away from financial innovation, from opening up the economy. Those are not my words. Those are the words of Paul Keating himself. Since the Hawke-Keating reform era, which was followed by the Howard-Costello reforms, Labor has lost its imagination. Government members interjecting— The SPEAKER: Members on my right will cease interjecting. The Leader of the House and the Treasurer will cease interjecting. Mr Albanese: Mr Speaker, I rise on a point of order. It goes to the order of questions. We had a question from the member for Parramatta. We then had the Prime Minister ask himself a question. Can we get the next— The SPEAKER: The member for Grayndler will resume his seat. Mr Albanese interjecting— The SPEAKER: The member for Grayndler is warned! Mr TURNBULL: That is the tragedy of the Labor Party. They have lost their creativity. They have lost their willingness to engage in an economic debate. The coalition government, our government, will build on the strong economic legacy left to us by John Howard and Peter Costello. Mr Husic interjecting— The SPEAKER: The member for Chifley has been warned! Mr TURNBULL: Labor appears committed only to trash the economic credibility it once had. Ms Butler interjecting— The SPEAKER: The member for Griffith will leave the House under standing order 94(a). The member for Griffith then left the chamber. Mr TURNBULL: I look around there. I look at the tragic figure of the member for Fraser, with all of those great works of economic analysis, all of those works dealing with the importance of value-added taxes and consumption taxes. Now every day for breakfast he has to eat another volume of his own writing, while under the whip of the member for Grayndler and the Leader of the Opposition! It is a tough life for the member for Fraser! But do not worry. We pay attention to the member's work. We think some of it is very valuable, and it is definitely going into the mix, especially the work in which the member talks about the value of a creative and flexible approach to the tax system. That is the old Labor Party. What we have today is a party broken and devoid of any imagination. The SPEAKER: I call the member for Denison. Mr Dreyfus interjecting— The SPEAKER: The member for Isaacs will relax! I am sure there is a standing order for it. Mr Pyne: We're on Labor's call. It was the member for Parramatta. The SPEAKER: It was the member for Parramatta who asked the question. Mr Albanese: No, he asked himself a question! The SPEAKER: No, and the member for Watson will resume his seat. Mr Burke interjecting— The SPEAKER: The member for Watson has been asked to resume his seat!
