Mr JOYCE (New England—Deputy Prime Minister, Minister for Infrastructure and Transport and Leader of The Nationals) (14:10): I thank the honourable member for Isaacs for his question, and I stand by my statement of this morning. I did not ring Mr Maguire and ask him for a place for free. I did not. Honourable members interjecting— Mr Conroy: Oh, that's different. The SPEAKER: The Deputy Prime Minister will resume his seat. The member for Shortland will cease interjecting. I've said to members repeatedly, they expect me to listen to the answers to rule on points of order. I'll have no tolerance for interjections. I need to hear the answer and, I tell you what, those interjecting don't need to be here. Mr JOYCE: Mr Maguire approached me. He made an offer. I offered to pay for it. He said that I didn't have to worry about it, because I was a mate. If you just think about it logically— An opposition member: Not your strong point. Mr JOYCE: you would hardly ring someone up, ask for something for free, then offer to pay for it and then get it for free, and that's because it didn't happen. It is as per the statement.
