Mr CONROY (Shortland) (15:02): I seek leave to move the following motion: That the House: (1) notes: (a) the Minister for Home Affairs cut funding to projects recommended by community safety experts in his department to fund projects in marginal and government-held electorates; (b) the Minister for Home Affairs announced funding for two projects during the Braddon by-election before grant guidelines were finalised, before grant applications were written, and before his department had provided him with advice, which was the projects were "unsuitable and ineligible"; (c) the Minister for Home Affairs also gave $880,000 from the proceeds of crime to the National Retail Association after it made a donation to support the Minister's election campaign; and (d) this is just the latest scandal involving the Government rorting taxpayers' money to advance its political interests; and (2) therefore, calls on the Minister for Home Affairs to immediately explain his actions to the House for a period not exceeding 15 minutes. Leave not granted. Mr CONROY: I move: That so much of the standing orders be suspended as would prevent the Member for Shortland from moving the following motion immediately—That the House: (1) notes: (a) the Minister for Home Affairs cut funding to projects recommended by community safety experts in his department to fund projects in marginal and government-held electorates; (b) the Minister for Home Affairs announced funding for two projects during the Braddon by-election before grant guidelines were finalised, before grant applications were written, and before his department had provided him with advice, which was the projects were "unsuitable and ineligible"; (c) the Minister for Home Affairs also gave $880,000 from the proceeds of crime to the National Retail Association after it made a donation to support the Minister's election campaign; and (d) this is just the latest scandal involving the Government rorting taxpayers' money to advance its political interests; and (2) therefore, calls on the Minister for Home Affairs to immediately explain his actions to the House for a period not exceeding 15 minutes. This minister is trading votes for making the community less safe. He doesn't care about— The SPEAKER: The member for Shortland will resume his seat. The Leader of the House?
