Mr PYNE (Sturt—Manager of Opposition Business) (14:32): My question is to the Prime Minister. I refer the Prime Minister to the recent statement by a man she once described as having a bold and articulate vision for the Labor Party, Mark Latham. He said: The tragedy for progressive politics is that there are scores of Craig Thomsons across the labour movement. He is the cultural norm, not an isolated peccadillo. What steps has the Prime Minister taken since the matters in relation to misuse of union funds by the member for Dobell were first aired in April to assure herself that no other member of the team has ever received a personal benefit from a trade union or trade union official? Mr Albanese: Madam Deputy Speaker, I rise on a point of order. The standing orders and House of Representatives Practice are very clear about casting aspersions upon members of parliament and reflecting on members of parliament. The question that was just raised by the Manager of Opposition Business attempted very clearly to cast an aspersion on every single member of the Labor Party caucus on this side and it should be ruled out of order. It is not in order to come in and just do general sprays like that under parliamentary privilege, particularly when this member will not say what he knows about James Ashby. The DEPUTY SPEAKER: The Manager of Opposition Business will resume his seat. The question was in order. The Prime Minister will answer the question.
