Mr FLETCHER (Bradfield—Minister for Communications, Urban Infrastructure, Cities and the Arts) (15:04): I thank the Prime Minister for the opportunity to add to the answer. As the Prime Minister absolutely accurately said, there is a yawning paradox here because the Labor Party, at the last election, committed to a park-and-ride fund and committed to building commuter car parks at Mango Hill. The SPEAKER: I just say to the minister: the Prime Minister did briefly compare the policies, but the question didn't ask about alternatives. In fact, it didn't— An honourable member interjecting— The SPEAKER: Hang on—I don't even need supportive interjections; they're unhelpful, too. It didn't even ask about the merits of spending money in a particular way. It specifically went to quotes of the Prime Minister or the number of times he'd said something, and asked him to explain how letters were signed off in a particular way. So it is very narrow. Mr FLETCHER: What the Prime Minister has said is entirely consistent with what the Auditor-General's report has said, which makes it clear that the decisions made here are within the authority of the minister and within the authority of the Commonwealth government. Page 38 of the Auditor-General's report says: Under the Infrastructure Investment Program arrangements, the Australian Government may commit funding to an investment project at any time for any phase based on information it deems appropriate. So the decision of the minister— The SPEAKER: The minister will resume his seat. The Leader of the Opposition, on a point of order? Mr Albanese: A point of order on relevance. The question went to the Prime Minister signing letters on 11 January and 10 April 2019, approving funding for 38 projects, and the contradiction there with his comments last week, where he said five times that it wasn't his decision. The SPEAKER: The Leader of the Opposition will resume his seat. I understand the point of order he's making. I believe the Prime Minister addressed that in his opening remarks. If nothing more can be said that's relevant to the question, I will wrap it up and we'll move onto the next question. The minister has the option. Mr Fletcher: The minister chooses not to exercise the option!
