My question is to the Prime Minister. What did the Prime Minister mean when she said, in relation to the member for Dobell, that she thought a line had been crossed?

I dealt with that on the day that I made the announcement about the member for Dobell. I dealt with it on the basis of my view about respect for the parliament. I made it clear then, as I make it clear now, that I do not believe it is appropriate for this parliament to be judge and jury about these matters.
