Mr HILL (Bruce) (14:19): My question is to the Minister for Government Services. We are halfway through the second week of public hearings of the royal commission into robodebt. What have we learned about who was responsible for the unlawful robodebt scheme? Honourable members interj ecting— The SPEAKER: Order! The Minister for Climate Change and Energy will cease interjecting. The Minister for Government Services will resume— Government members interjecting— The SPEAKER: Order, members on my right! We will hear from the Manager of Opposition Business. Mr Fletcher: Mr Speaker, this conduct by the government on this matter risks bringing the royal commission into disrepute. The royal commission has been established to make findings of fact—that is clear from its terms of reference—and we are now seeing a series of questions which presume to do the royal commission's job for it. This is quite inappropriate, and these questions ought not to be allowed. The SPEAKER: The point of order is that the question was out of order? Mr Fletcher: Yes. The SPEAKER: I'm just clarifying what your point was. Government members interjecting— The SPEAKER: Order, members on my right. I'll hear from the Leader of the House. Mr Burke: To the point of order, I wasn't sure if he was going to raise it based on standing orders or a conflict of interest! It has been the practice for a long time in this chamber that, when a royal commission is on that has been commissioned by the government of the day, matters of evidence will be discussed in this place. The member opposite has a very short memory if he thinks this is new. The SPEAKER: I call the Manager of Opposition Business. Mr Fletcher: On the point of order, it is for the royal commission to make findings of fact based upon the evidence put to it. It is not for this House to do that. With the approach the government are taking, they are trespassing across ground that they ought not to be on. The SPEAKER: This matter was raised in the House on Monday. Practice does indicate that matters before a royal commission the House can treat with some flexibility to allow for variations in the subject matter. Practice has also indicated over the years that matters before a royal commission can be discussed during question time. That question is in order. I refer the manager to pages 521 to 525 of Practice. I give the call to the Minister for Government Services.
