Ms CATHERINE KING (Ballarat) (14:39): My question is to the Prime Minister. I refer to his previous answer. Can the Prime Minister confirm that he has never actually told this House whether he asked his staff if they sought to undermine Brittany Higgins' loved ones? Prime Minister, is it true your staff sought to undermine Ms Higgins' loved ones, and have you asked? Opposition members interjecting— Mr Dreyfus interjecting — Ms Swanson interjecting — The SPEAKER: Members on my left. Member for Isaacs and member for Paterson. I'm trying to find out without members bellowing interjections. That's a very good question. Is the Leader of the House rising on a point of order? Mr Dutton: I am, yes. This question can be dressed up in whatever way it likes, but the fact is that the question has been asked and it has been fully answered— Opposition members interjecting— The SPEAKER: Members on my left. Mr DUTTON: The Prime Minister has provided the response to the question. It should be ruled out of order. The SPEAKER: I say to those opposite, I am much harsher on interjections when I am trying to hear a point of order. The Manager of Opposition Business. Mr Burke: Thanks, Mr Speaker. To the point the Leader of the House raised, the question has not been fully answered. In fact, the question specifically asks the Prime Minister whether he has asked his staff whether or not this occurred. The Prime Minister continually refers back to a statement he made last week. That statement does not contain the answer to this question. This question has not been answered. The SPEAKER: There are two issues I will state in ruling on this. In terms of the question already being asked—and I've been through this before when members on both sides have challenged me, depending on where the question has come from of course—it would need to be absolutely identical and it's not. It does have another element in it anyway. But on the first hurdle it's in order because it's not absolutely identical. They have certainly all been on the same topic but sufficiently different to enable them to be within the standing orders. So the question is in order. I call the Prime Minister.
