Mr FITZGIBBON (Hunter) (14:34): My question is to the Deputy Prime Minister, because today he said of the WA One Nation preference deal: This is a disappointing move. I hope the architects of it clearly understand the ramifications of the decision … Given the federal Minister for Finance was closely involved in the negotiations, has the finance minister ever conducted legislation negotiations in the Senate with One Nation on behalf of the Deputy Prime Minister or any other National Party ministers? Is the Deputy Prime Minister happy to have the Minister for Finance negotiating with One Nation on his behalf? The SPEAKER: The Leader of the House will resume his seat. I have ruled one question out of order on the subject matter. I have allowed another two in. That question is in the category of the first question asked. It is out of order. I will hear from the Manager of Opposition Business. Mr Burke: I respect the ruling that you have made. Can you make clear just what it is that is making it out of order? The SPEAKER: Maybe the Manager of Opposition Business might go to the point that he thinks is in order. I am glad he concedes most of it is out of order. Mr Burke: It is the fact that it is asking about legislation negotiations in the Senate and the minister's role in who he delegates to conduct those legislation negotiations in the Senate. The SPEAKER: I will allow the Deputy Prime Minister to answer that narrow part of the question and any other point he deems fit.
