Ms PLIBERSEK (Sydney—Deputy Leader of the Opposition) (14:12): My question is to the Prime Minister. Yesterday it was revealed that the Federal Police did not have the resources to fully investigate a 1.6 tonne cocaine importation. When the Federal Police already don't have enough resources to do the important work they do, why is this born-to-rule Prime Minister diverting the limited resources of the Federal Police so that he can attack his political opponents? The SPEAKER: The Leader of the House, on a point of order? Mr Pyne: We give fair tolerance to the opposition, but— Opposition members interjecting— The SPEAKER: Members on my left will cease interjecting. Opposition members interjecting— The SPEAKER: If members on my left don't cease interjecting, I will just remove them from the House, interjection by interjection. Mr Pyne: The standing orders are very clear about insults and epithets inside the questions, and, while we are quite tolerant of the opposition's questions, I think the Deputy Leader of the Opposition's epithet flung at the Prime Minister should be withdrawn and not included in future questions. The SPEAKER: The Manager of Opposition Business, on a point of order? Mr Burke: If the reference that the Leader of the House is complaining about had been at the start of the question, in terms of who the question was directed to, then, certainly, that would be out of order, as is often the case when questions are asked by government backbenchers. But words like 'elitist' or 'snobbish' have often been included. 'Born-to-rule' is of the same order as 'arrogant' and a series of words that have always been allowed, and, probably, are pretty appropriate Government members interjecting— The SPEAKER: The Minister for Health and members on my right are not assisting. As I said yesterday—and I won't make as long a ruling as I did yesterday—I spend a lot of time reading the practice. Whilst I don't like the term and I don't approve of those sorts of descriptors in questions, I couldn't sit here and say they haven't been allowed for many, many years. I will allow the question.
