My question is directed to the Prime Minister. Can the Prime Minister confirm that his government has threatened to sue Mark Rogers, a Sydney grandfather, over his use of the Medicare logo on his Save Medicare website. Will the government also be threatening legal action against the Liberal Party, the member for Forde, the Minister for Trade, the member for Bonner and the health minister, who have all used the Medicare logo in their own political material?

The Manager of Opposition business knows the rules on props. The members on my left and right will cease interjecting.

There is a question on notice. See if that litigation is as he has described.
