Mrs McINTOSH (Lindsay) (14:44): My question is to the Minister for Communications. I refer to the minister's previous answer, where she refused to address whether welfare checks have been conducted. It is an open secret in the press gallery that Labor MPs are complaining to journalists that the minister continually fails to show any compassion for victims. Today, secret emails have revealed the minister— Honourable members interjecting— The SPEAKER: Order! I can't hear the question. I heard backgrounding, but I want to know what the context was. So I'm going to ask the member for Lindsay to begin her question again—and she will be heard in silence. Mrs McINTOSH: I refer to the minister's previous answer, where she refused to address whether welfare checks have been conducted. It is an open secret in the press gallery that Labor MPs are complaining to journalists that the minister continually fails to show any compassion for victims. Today, secret emails have revealed the minister's office was aware of this crisis 24 hours before the time at which the minister told the House she found out. Yesterday, the minister refused to apologise for this failure. Will the minister finally now apologise to victims and their families? Government members interjecting— The SPEAKER: Order! I just remind government members: do not test me on timed questions; otherwise, it will apply to ministers as well. There is nothing that annoys me more than when someone yells out on the issue of time. If people want me to go down the path of exact, strict limits, we will do it. It means questions will be ruled out and ministers will be sat down. I'm asking everyone to respect that.
