Mr SHORTEN (Maribyrnong—Leader of the Opposition) (14:02): My question is to the Prime Minister. I refer to the Prime Minister's inept failure to enforce his own ministerial standards. Is the Prime Minister powerless to act against a minister who breaches the ministerial standards when that minister is a member of the National Party? And are there any formal agreements— Mr Pyne interjecting— The SPEAKER: Can the Leader of the Opposition please resume his seat. Can the Leader of the House cease interjecting. I refer members to my statements during the last sitting week. I need to hear these questions, if I am expected to rule on them. So I am going to need to ask the Leader of the Opposition to begin his question again. Mr SHORTEN: My question is to the Prime Minister. I refer to the Prime Minister's inept failure to administer his own ministerial standards. Is the Prime Minister powerless to act against a minister who breaches the ministerial standards when that minister is a member of the National Party? And are there any formal agreements that prevent the Prime Minister from enforcing his own ministerial standards?
