Ms STANLEY (Werriwa—Government Whip) (14:34): My question is to the Minister for Cyber Security. How is the Albanese Labor government fixing the patchwork of policies and poorly implemented cybersecurity measures left behind by the previous government? Opposition members interjecting— The SPEAKER: The minister will resume her seat. Government members interjecting— The SPEAKER: Order! Members on my right! The same rules apply to both sides of the chamber. There will be no interjections whilst a minister is approaching the dispatch box. I will hear from the Manager of Opposition Business. Mr Fletcher: Yesterday, you were very clear that ministers could only be asked questions about matters which fall within their current responsibilities. These questions clearly breaches that principle and is out of order. Honourable members interjecting— The SPEAKER: Order! I'll hear from the Leader of the House. Mr Burke: Mr Speaker, the question asks what the government is doing to fix a particular problem. It refers to the previous government in creating that problem, but the question is about the government fixing it, which is entirely the job of the minister and a job that she's doing. The SPEAKER: The Manager of Opposition Business on a further point of order. Mr Fletcher: Mr Speaker, you were very clear in your statement of the principle yesterday. I'm sure you want to be absolutely consistent in how you apply that principle on both sides of the chamber. The principle is very clear that ministers cannot be asked about matters which occurred before they became a minister. You've stated that principle, and it should be upheld in relation to this question. Honourable members interjecting— The SPEAKER: Order! The Leader of the House. Mr Burke: Mr Speaker, just to the point of order, none of this is complicated from the Manager of Opposition Business. The principle that was dealt with yesterday goes to the actions of a minister before they became minister, and that was what all the points of order yesterday were about. The question today that has just been asked is about the actions a minister is taking now to fix up a mess that was left to this government. Honourable members interjecting— The SPEAKER: Order! I want to respond to the Manager of Opposition Business. He raises a point about the principle I was talking about yesterday. I want to be clear for all members regarding Practice, which makes clear what ministers cannot be asked questions about in relation to their actions—and it states this very clearly on page 554—in a former ministerial role or as a private member before becoming a minister. That's also on page 554. This question is about what the government is doing now. The minister is responsible, obviously, for these portfolio responsibilities. I'm going to listen carefully to her response to make sure she's updating the House with her remarks, however she answers it, regarding the policies, but she's obviously able to talk about what the government's responsibilities or her responsibilities are to deal with the relevant issues, as she sees fit. The question is in order, but I'll listen carefully to make sure she is being relevant.
