Mr ALBANESE (Grayndler—Prime Minister) (14:53): I did attend a meeting in Ballarat last week, and I attended a meeting in Wagga Wagga as well. I attend, regularly, regional events. And, when I do, I inform the members, as the member for Page would know, as the member for Maranoa would know and as the member for Riverina would know. Indeed, I took the member for Riverina to the event in his electorate last week. I have attended an event with the member for Mallee, where I opened local community infrastructure at the invitation of the local council. There were schools there because it was the first time a prime minister had visited Horsham, a small community, in some 40 years. There were school children there; there were lots of people there. I rang up the member for Mallee to invite her to come along. The member for Mallee chose to organise people to come along and yell with loudhailers and to disrupt the event. I was fine with that, as I was last week when I engaged in one-on-one discussions. But I do make this point. Yesterday a neo-Nazi crashed the events with the Victorian premier. Mr Littleproud: Don't conflate that with farmers. Be very careful. The SPEAKER: Order! The Leader of the Nationals will cease interjecting. Mr ALBANESE: I'll tell you what is dangerous. What is dangerous is encouraging—indeed, I was there, as was the member for Maranoa. He knows the Australian Federal Police had organised a cut-off area— Mr Littleproud: Don't conflate it with neo-Nazis. Don't you dare! The SPEAKER: Order! The Leader of the Nationals cannot continue to keep yelling like that. Mr ALBANESE: so that no-one was chased, as the member put it in her question. Indeed, because of the presence of the AFP, I attended a dinner the night before and I went around all the tables and discussed that with farmers. Honourable members interjecting— The SPEAKER: Order! The Prime Minister is directly answering a question about the event that he was asked about in the question. It's impossible to raise a point of order on relevance. Member for Mallee, the Prime Minister is answering exactly the question he has been asked, about the rally he attended, what he said and what he did. I'm going to ask you to reconsider if it's a point of order on relevance, because it can't be for the reasons I've just outlined. I think everyone can see that. The member for Mallee. Dr Webster: It is on relevance. The SPEAKER: No. Resume your seat. We're going to deal with this. Speakers in the past—I'm happy to go through it with any member who requests it—have denied points of order. I'm willing to give people a fair go, but if you've asked a question and he or any minister is answering it directly—when people go off topic, I understand it, but not when he is giving specific answers. That's just ridiculous. Mr ALBANESE: I'll tell you what is dangerous. It's encouragement of an event where someone stands on a chair in the second row with a noose around their neck at a time when people taking their own lives is a really serious issue. All I would say is this: I'm always prepared to front up. I front up in seats right across this parliament. I front up outside my electorate office, which sees demonstrations a lot more willing than what was there in Ballarat the other day, let me tell you. I front up when coffins are brought to the front of my office with my name on them. I front up and address those people, and I address them respectfully. But I say this to the parliament: you need to be responsible. (Time expired)
