Mr TED O'BRIEN (Fairfax—Deputy Leader of the Opposition) (14:59): My question is to the Treasurer. Does the Treasurer know which of his colleagues told the Australian newspaper, 'I hate the principle of taxing unrealised capital gains', as reported on today's front page? Given so many in the labour movement, including Paul Keating, have similar concerns, how does the Treasurer justify taxing Australians on money they have never actually received? The SPEAKER: I don't have problems with the question, but I have some problems with the way it was framed. I'll hear from the Leader of the House. Mr Burke: Given that the standing orders and Practice are clear about not responding to unnamed individuals, I'm not sure what you do with a question that actually says, 'I'm referring to an unnamed individual.' The SPEAKER: I think we can get through this pretty easily. I'll hear from the Manager of Opposition Business. Mr Hawke: The Leader of the House is correct. We don't know which one of their colleagues has made this statement. The SPEAKER: The Leader of the House is correct. I'm going to rely on the fact that it was a media report and that you're referring to the media report. Certainly the end part of the question was in order. I'll just remind members to refer to a media report or someone's comments directly rather than the way that question was phrased. Mr Buchholz: Just ask for a show of hands! The SPEAKER: The member for Wright will leave the chamber under 94(a). The member for Wright then left the chamber. The SPEAKER: I want to remind members that question time is an important part of our democracy. Of course, the question is important; so is the answer. They're equally as important as each other, and we cannot have people making comments before and, hopefully, not during the answer.
