Mr MORRISON (Cook—Prime Minister and Minister for the Public Service) (14:55): Rather than do it later in the day, I can confirm that erroneous report. The New South Wales Premier has made it very clear to me in her message that she has never used such words, ever. The SPEAKER: I just said that part of the question was out of order. Mr MORRISON: I won't address the smears of those opposite. What I will do is address the more substantive matter, and I seek your indulgence on restating that part of the question. The SPEAKER: I won't restate the question. If you could just restate the question without the bit that I've ruled out of order, otherwise we'll just move on. Mr STEPHEN JONES: The question to the Prime Minister is: why, then, did the Prime Minister support Clive Palmer's High Court case to tear down the Western Australian borders? Mr MORRISON: The member must be misinformed, because the Commonwealth did not pursue that case, and it is erroneous to suggest that that is what the government did. The government did not pursue that case at all. We did not pursue that case. The Labor Party continues to push this falsehood around the country, as they have a habit of doing. The each-way position of the Labor Party, across the pandemic, is there for all to see. They support the plan; they don't support the plan. They do support the plan; they don't support the plan. They support JobKeeper; they're opposed to JobKeeper. The SPEAKER: The Prime Minister will resume his seat. The Leader of the Opposition, on a point of order? Mr Albanese: On relevance. The question was very direct. A very short question is now before the chair about— The SPEAKER: It was very direct in the end. It wasn't direct at the beginning. Mr ALBANESE: Correct. It is about the government's support for Clive Palmer's WA High Court challenge that cost taxpayers a million dollars. The SPEAKER: The Leader of the Opposition will resume his seat. I'll just say to the Leader of the Opposition: he's got into the habit of using a point of order to not only ask the question again but now even ask additional questions. So if he wants to ask an additional question he can do that. That's what question time is for. The Prime Minister has the call, and he does need to be relevant to the question, but I'm not discounting the fact that the original question did have some political commentary and, at the heart of it, an accusation. The Prime Minister has the call. Mr MORRISON: I'll restate what I said at the commencement of my answer: what the Labor Party is putting about is not true. We did not pursue that case. That is not what occurred. For the opposition, for the Labor Party, to peddle untruth is something I've become used to with this Leader of the Opposition and the Labor Party.
