Mr PYNE (Sturt—Manager of Opposition Business) (15:26): Madam Deputy Speaker, can I ask a question to clarify? Mr Albanese interjecting— Mr PYNE: He is still running interference! Mr Albanese: Madam Deputy Speaker, on a point of order: the Speaker of the House of Representatives has made it clear and has enforced that questions such as that will not be asked after question time. That is the view that he has put before this chamber so as to avoid this tit for tat, so we do not have questions I could ask such as: is the budget before the Privileges Committee? That is just as absurd as the question asked by the Leader of the Opposition. The DEPUTY SPEAKER: The Manager of Opposition Business has an administrative question. Mr PYNE: Madam Deputy Speaker, my question is: if you are loath to make a ruling and the opposition disagrees with the position you have taken, how can we move dissent in your ruling? The DEPUTY SPEAKER: I am not obliged to give advisory rulings. There is no obligation for the chair to do it.
