Mr BRENDAN O'CONNOR (Gorton) (15:15): My question is to the Minister for Human Services and refers to previous answers he has given in his current portfolio concerning the raids on the AWU, when TV cameras turned up before the police. Can the minister confirm that no person who at the relevant time worked in his office leaked those raids to the media? The SPEAKER: I am just pondering whether that question's in order. I don't believe it is, actually. I'm happy to hear from the Manager of Opposition Business. Mr Burke: Mr Speaker, to the point of order: the question refers to previous answers. In those previous answers, the minister has referred to the raids, has referred to the issue of media being alerted and has referred to the work of his own office. They are the elements of the question. The SPEAKER: That's a fair point. I'm going to allow it. I will hear from the Leader of the House. If he's got something ultra-compelling— Mr Pyne: I think it is compelling, Mr Speaker. The SPEAKER: There is never any doubt about that! Mr Pyne: The minister could, for example, be asked a question about whether he has made inquiries of his staff about whether they have done a particular action— The SPEAKER: I don't think so. Mr Pyne: But that's not what the question is. He can't actually answer what has been done by somebody else. It is not within his knowledge. The SPEAKER: Let me hear the question again. Mr BRENDAN O'CONNOR: From the beginning, Mr Speaker? The SPEAKER: Don't do it backwards! That's the best place to start! Mr BRENDAN O'CONNOR: I'm happy to do it forwards! But I'm happy to do the last question, which is the crux of the issue. The SPEAKER: I think I'll hear the whole lot, if that's okay. Mr BRENDAN O'CONNOR: Thanks, Mr Speaker. My question is to the Minister for Human Services and refers to previous answers he has given in his current portfolio concerning the raids on the AWU, when TV cameras turned up before the police. Can the minister confirm that no person who at the relevant time worked in his office leaked those raids to the media? The SPEAKER: I thank the member for Gorton. I am going to allow the question. I do take the point that the Leader of the House has made, but the point is that the minister can address it in any way he wants. And I think that the link to previous answers means that it is in order. So I am going to allow it after all. Minister.
