My question is to the Prime Minister. Prime Minister, who came up with the strategy of lying about lying, and how do you reckon it is going?

I find that an offensive question. You can rephrase it if you wish.

Madam Speaker, I raise a point of order.

I find it offensive.

What standing order does it offend?

You can have a proper question if you wish. Otherwise resume your seat.

My question is to the Prime Minister. The government have embarked on a strategy for some months since the budget, lying about whether or not they have broken their election promises. Who came up with this idea, and how do you reckon it is going?

I find the question still offensive and rule it out of order. I call the member for Herbert.
