Ms PLIBERSEK (Sydney—Deputy Leader of the Opposition) (14:16): I refer to the Prime Minister's previous answer. Who does the Prime Minister blame for this leak? Isn't this proof that the Prime Minister put votes in a by-election ahead of the national interest in the most cynically timed foreign policy— Mr Pyne interjecting— The SPEAKER: The Leader of the House will cease interjecting. Can the deputy leader please start her question again? I'm trying to listen very closely, but I'm being impeded by those on my right. Ms PLIBERSEK: The question is to the Prime Minister. I refer to his previous answer. Who does the Prime Minister blame for the leak of the WhatsApp exchange between our foreign minister and the Indonesian foreign minister? Isn't this proof that the Prime Minister put votes in a by-election ahead of the national interest in the most cynically timed foreign policy decision in living memory? How is the Prime Minister fit to lead the nation when he acts in such a desperate and reckless way? The SPEAKER: The Leader of the House, on a point of order? Mr Pyne: I'm sure the Prime Minister's prepared to answer the question, but it wasn't so much a question as a polemic from the Deputy Leader of the Opposition. Quite frankly, the issue that was raised at the beginning of the question has got nothing to do with the responsibilities of the Prime Minister. The rest of the question was simply a smear. Mr Burke: On the point of order, Mr Speaker, the first part of the question is a direct follow from the previous answer that we heard. The second half of the question goes directly to asking the Prime Minister how he makes these sorts of decisions. The SPEAKER: I think the first part of the question was just in order. Mr Frydenberg interjecting— The SPEAKER: Treasurer, just button it for a second while I make the ruling. I'm going to allow the question. The question's in order.
