QUESTIONS WITHOUT NOTICE › Assistant Minister for Customs, Community Safety and Multicultural Affairs
Mr MORRISON (Cook—Prime Minister and Minister for the Public Service) (14:52): I refer the member to the answer provided by the Treasurer, representing the finance minister, regarding the relevant rules in relation to these matters. In relation to the question directly put to me on this, prior to coming into question time today and indeed until now, I have no information in front of me that would suggest that any of the matters that they've alleged have fallen foul of the standards. I have learned, over a long time of coming to the dispatch box and responding to the allegations made by those opposite, to never take them at their word. Mr Dreyfus interjecting— The SPEAKER: The member for Isaacs is warned. Mr MORRISON: You can't take them credibly. What we have from this very feeble and very lame opposition is an attempt to distract, frankly, from their own feebleness and their own lameness by seeking to smear other members of this House when at the same time their own party is in absolute shambles.
