The Prime Minister has informed the House of some changes to question time with respect to the—

Honourable members interjecting—

I will be heard without interjection. The member for Moreton is warned. Members on both sides will not interject when the member for Watson is seeking me to respond to a point of order. Would you like me to respond to your point of order? I will do so without interjection. The Prime Minister, on indulgence, has announced a change in approach from the government's perspective at the start of question time in a brief statement. With all the interjections, it has taken less than four minutes. I am happy to proceed with question time now, unless the Leader of the Opposition or the member for Watson wishes also to speak on indulgence. Thank you. As we proceed to question time, I remind those members who have been warned already.
