Christopher Pyne (Sturt, Liberal Party, Shadow Minister for Education, Apprenticeships and Training) Share this | Hansard source

I rise on a point of order. The standing orders are very clear that ministers should be asked questions within their portfolio. Question time is not a time for a general question to the Minister for Trade and Competitiveness to slag and bag coalition states. I ask you that, if question time is to mean anything, you bring the minister to order or sit him down.
