Mr FITZGIBBON (Hunter) (14:01): My question is to the Prime Minister. Given that there are reports today that up to six government MPs support the member for Farrer's private member's bill to phase out live sheep exports, does the Prime Minister support the bill? Will the Prime Minister support further debate on the bill and ensure that government members on the Selection Committee are aware of his view so that all members can have their say on this very important issue? The SPEAKER: The Leader of the House on a point of order? Mr Pyne: Mr Speaker, matters to do with the Selection Committee and the schedule of the House are not within the responsibility of the Prime Minister. It was not a general question; it was a very specific question about when the bill will be dealt with and how the process will be unfolding. I'm happy to answer that question, but it's not within the responsibility of the Prime Minister. The SPEAKER: I will allow the Manager of Opposition Business to speak on the point of order. Mr Burke: To the point of order, Mr Speaker: it's impossible I think to view the part of the question that says, 'Does the Prime Minister support the bill?' as being answered by anyone other than the Prime Minister. Will the Prime Minister pass on his— The SPEAKER: The Manager of Opposition Business might have just made the point there. That's the only part of the question that I think is in order. An honourable member interjecting— The SPEAKER: No. It's probably best you don't. Certainly I'm going to allow the part of the question that asks whether he supports the bill. The Prime Minister has the call.
