Mr Speaker, I request that you write to the Prime Minister with respect to question in writing No. 1031, as it has now been on the Notice Paper for over 60 days without a response.

I will, upon checking that the response has not been received to that question, write to the relevant minister. My reaction before was to comments that not only the member for Fadden made but others made. I did not see him. It is not required that he give me the tip-off that he has a matter for me, and I do not expect that. But I am just indicating to him that I was reacting to things that were happening within the chamber, and his intro was just a little bit unnecessary. But, certainly, if he is aggrieved and has not had a question answered in the required time, I will write to the relevant minister on his behalf.
