Given that the Prime Minister did not have the chance to answer the last question I seek leave to move the following motion:

(1) leading a chaotic and incompetent government;

(2) ruling out more cuts to foreign aid but not to schools, hospitals or pensioners;

(3) preparing a budget filled with more lies, more cuts and more chaos;

(4) having no plan for Australia's future; and

(5) using the budget in a desperate attempt to save his own job.

Leave not granted.

I move:

That so much of standing and sessional orders be suspended as would prevent the Leader of the Opposition from moving the following motion forthwith:

That the House condemns the Prime Minister for:

(1) leading a chaotic and incompetent government

(2) for ruling out more cuts to foreign aid but not to schools, hospitals or pensioners

(3) preparing a budget filled with more cuts and more chaos

(4) having no plan for Australia's future and

(5) using the budget in a desperate attempt to save his own job.

If the New South Wales Liberal machine do not want Tony Abbott, why should Australia have him?

I call the Leader of the House. The member will resume his seat.

I move that the member be no longer heard.

The question is that the member be no longer heard.

Madam Speaker, as the opposition have plainly run out of questions, I ask that further questions be placed on the Notice Paper.
