Mrs Bronwyn Bishop (Mackellar, Liberal Party, Shadow Minister for Veterans' Affairs) Share this | Hansard source

Mr Speaker, on a point of order: I would direct you to page 553 of Practice, which deals with the situation where a minister—in this case, the Prime Minister—does not come to the point of a question at all and engages in irrelevancies. Practice points out that you have the power to direct him to answer the question or to ask him to resume his seat. I ask that you ask him to answer the question about what he is going to do for pensioners or else ask him sit down because he cannot answer.
