Mr ALBANESE (Grayndler—Prime Minister) (14:34): I'm asked a question about character from those opposite, and I'm happy to answer it by beginning— Mr Dutton interjecting— Mr ALBANESE: He promised to smile more, but there's just more abuse. Let me begin by quoting a character, Robert Menzies. This is what he had to say: It is a good thing that Australia should have earned a reputation for a sensitive understanding of the problems of people in other lands, that we should not come to be regarded as people who are detached from the miseries of the world. I know that we will not come to be so regarded, for I believe that there are no people anywhere with warmer hearts and more generous impulses. That was the founder of the Liberal Party. He wouldn't recognise this mob today. He would not recognise them. Mr Husic: They'd call him a teal. The SPEAKER: The Minister for Industry and Science will cease interjecting. Mr ALBANESE: There was a time when the Liberal Party would have seen people fleeing, whether they were fleeing Ukraine, Israel, Syria, Vietnam or Gaza at the moment, and would have had some understanding that this was the worst time to try to malign a whole group of people who are suffering enormously. It's something that we see on our TV screens every night. This morning, if you turned on the radio, the latest hit was a school in Gaza, with real people devastated and losing their lives. When it comes to security processes, we have faith in our intelligence agencies. They work. Our security and law enforcement agencies do their job on an ongoing basis. We have faith in them. The opposition apparently don't, even though they're the same security agencies and, indeed, the same personnel. We talk about character when it comes to targeting groups. Whether it is the Lebanese, people in the South Pacific, the Chinese or the entire continent of Africa, they're all fair game. If you're an au pair from Europe and someone can pick up the phone, no problem—you're in. Mr Jones: Ministerial interference! The SPEAKER: Order! The Assistant Treasurer is warned. I'm trying to hear from the member for Hasluck, and these continual interjections—the member for Hasluck will just pause and resume her seat. The Manager of Opposition Business on a point of order. Mr Fletcher: There was a highly objectionable imputation made by the Prime Minister, and he should withdraw it. The SPEAKER: I was listening closely at the end of the statement, the final part of that question, and a person wasn't named directly regarding that. Opposition members interjecting— The SPEAKER: No. Just to assist the Manager of Opposition Business, just so we're clear, if someone had said a person's name—I'm not going to identify anyone here—and said, 'This person had done this, or, 'This person had done that,' they would have been made to withdraw. I'm just going to remind all members that language is important. Mr Fletcher: Mr Speaker, what's also important is if there are consistent standards applied to both— Honourable members interjecting— The SPEAKER: The Leader of the House on the point of order. Mr Burke: Just on the point of order, to be of assistance to the Manager of Opposition Business: the point of order that was earlier taken that requested the withdrawal was based on standing order 100, which applies only to rules for questions. The SPEAKER: I remind all members, with their questions and answers, to respect and reflect the standing orders.
