Mr MORRISON (Cook—Prime Minister) (15:08): I restate exactly what I said in my answer to the previous question. I note this, though—this is a quote from Sally McManus— The SPEAKER: The Leader of the Opposition on a point of order? Mr Albanese: It goes to direct relevance. This was a very specific question about a member of this Prime Minister's government and statements that were made in this parliament. The SPEAKER: The Prime Minister is entitled to some preamble, but it was a very direct question. I'm going to ask the Prime Minister to respond to the question. Mr MORRISON: I'll complete the quote that I was going to refer to because it's relevant, Mr Speaker. The SPEAKER: The Prime Minister will resume his seat. The Prime Minister will directly respond to the question. It's not appropriate 12 seconds or 15 seconds into an answer to quote Sally McManus. I ask the Prime Minister to respond to the question directly, please. Mr MORRISON: I do condemn those statements, and I also condemn statements like this— Honourable members interjecting— Mr MORRISON: You're very touchy on this, aren't you? You don't want me to read it out, do you? The SPEAKER: Order! The Manager of Opposition Business? Mr Burke: I raise a point of order under standing order 91(c), where a member's conduct shall be considered disorderly if the member has 'persistently and wilfully refused to conform to a standing order', which is exactly what the Prime Minister is now doing in defiance of your ruling. The SPEAKER: The Prime Minister has the call. I'd ask the Prime Minister again to respond to the question and be directly relevant to the question. Mr MORRISON: On the point of order: I have responded directly to the member's question in denunciating those statements. I've been very clear about that. I believe in the rule of law when the law is fair and the law is right— The SPEAKER: The Prime Minister will resume his seat. I'll go to the next question.
