Ms GILLARD (Lalor—Prime Minister) (14:41): Heavens above! It has really come to this—nothing to say about the economy, no commitment to a surplus. When the member walked to the dispatch box, I thought she might be asking a question about child care, which would have enabled me to inform the House that there is more childcare support for working families than ever before. But, no, of course the muckraking continues because this is an opposition with— The SPEAKER: The Prime Minister will return to the substance of the question. Ms GILLARD: I will, Mr Speaker. But this is an opposition with no plans for the economy, no plans for working families, no plans for a surplus—and it is written all over their tactics. The SPEAKER: The Prime Minister will become directly relevant. Ms GILLARD: On the question, I have made it perfectly clear that these matters are for the independent umpire, Fair Work Australia. I know the opposition has no regard for the independence of Fair Work Australia or the police— Mr Pyne: On a point of order, Mr Speaker: the Prime Minister is not being directly relevant. The Prime Minister was not asked a question about Fair Work Australia; she was asked a question about the relationships and discussions that have taken place between herself and her office and the member for Dobell—a matter she can directly answer. The SPEAKER: I invite the Prime Minister to address the substance of the question. Ms GILLARD: I say again that this matter is being investigated by Fair Work— Opposition members interjecting— The SPEAKER: Order! The Prime Minister will be heard in complete silence and anyone who interrupts the Prime Minister during the answer to this important question will join the member for Longman—and that refers to people on both sides of the chamber. Ms GILLARD: The matter is being investigated by Fair Work Australia, an independent body. That is proper. It should reach its own conclusions in the way it best sees fit and the opposition should stop this campaign of trying to stand over the independent umpire, just as we saw them try to stand over the police last year.
