Dr ALY (Cowan) (14:31): My question is to the Deputy Prime Minister. I refer to yesterday's comments by the WA National's leader, Mia Davies, who in 2018 called for the Deputy Prime Minister to resign. She said: I'm disappointed the party felt they needed to change leaders. I think it shows they're focused on internal matters instead of the people of regional Australia. In his capacity as the minister for regional development, is Ms Davies correct? The SPEAKER: The Leader of the House on a point of order? Mr Dutton: If I might say, there is a lot of latitude being given to the opposition in relation to some of these questions— Opposition members interjecting— The SPEAKER: Members on my left! Mr DUTTON: I contend that that question is out of order— The SPEAKER: The Leader of the House will pause for a second. Members on my left will contain themselves. The Leader of the House is entitled— Mr Albanese interjecting— The SPEAKER: The Leader of the Opposition and all members on my left will not interject; I am hearing the point of order. Mr Dutton: Mr Speaker, I believe that question should be ruled out of order. The Deputy Prime Minister doesn't have responsibilities in relation to those comments that the honourable member has cited. I don't know the accuracy of those comments and I don't think that the Deputy Prime Minister should be asked to respond to them. Mr Burke interjecting— The SPEAKER: I won't hear from the Manager of Opposition Business at this point in time. I am going to rule the question out of order and give the opportunity to the member for Cowan to rephrase the question. I will tell you why: I've made it very clear in the past—and I know that the member for Isaacs hasn't forgotten this—that the substance of the question has to be in order. In other words, you cannot use the majority of what's asked that is deliberately out of order and then simply bolt on the reference to ministerial responsibility at the end. In other words: there was very little question and a lot of comment that related to internal party matters, which is prohibited from being in questions under the Practice. But I am happy to hear from the Leader of the Opposition as it is on this. Mr Albanese: The quote from Mia Davies is about—the quote is: I think it shows they're focused on internal matters instead of the people of regional Australia. There can't be any quote more in order to ask the minister for regional development than whether they're not focused on the interests of regional Australia and if they're just focused on internal matters. That's why it is relevant. The member for Cowan asked him, in his capacity as minister for regional development, if Ms Davies is correct. In my view, it's— The SPEAKER: Could I just hear—I might have misheard the question, and if I've made a mistake I'll acknowledge that. Perhaps it would be better if the member for Cowan didn't read the whole question but, certainly, the part in the quote about regional Australia—if I misheard that. Dr ALY: Would you like me to read the whole question? The SPEAKER: No, just the part about— Dr ALY: The quote is: I'm disappointed the party felt they needed to change leaders. I think it shows they're focused on internal matters instead of the people of regional Australia. The SPEAKER: I'm going to allow it on this occasion, but I think I've warned about what I'm looking for, and I hope I make it clear to those asking the questions that they can't seek to ask questions that are essentially out of order. But that quote, I think, does enable the question to be answered.
