Morrison, Scott, MP

Mr MORRISON (Cook—Prime Minister and Minister for the Public Service) (15:14): I ask that further questions be placed on the Notice Paper and advise that the Minister for Health and I will shortly be making an announcement regarding the Australian health sector emergency response plan for the coronavirus. Mr Albanese: Given the Prime Minister's statement to the parliament that there is about to be an announcement, through you, Mr Speaker, I would request that, given the opposition—myself and the shadow health minister—have at all times sought to be bipartisan on the coronavirus issue, decency requires there actually be a briefing to the opposition rather than the Prime Minister just standing up and making a statement to try to distract from this sports rorts debacle before he marches out of the parliament. The SPEAKER: I'll just say to the Leader of the Opposition that it's not within my purview to demand members or ministers to do anything, but the Leader of the Opposition has made his point, and I notice that the Deputy Leader of the House is here, so he's made his point.
