My question is to the Prime Minister. I refer to his comments in the House yesterday and today and to the front page headline of TheDaily Telegraph today, which reads: 'Libs take banned cash.' Why does the Prime Minister go over the top when he sees political advantage but go into hiding when there's Liberal Party corruption and his own party members are breaking the law?

The member for Isaacs will not use props. The question is out of order. It clearly—

Government members interjecting—

If ministers could stop interjecting.

The member for Sydney is warned. If the member for Isaacs is having difficulty—maybe he's not—I suggest he acquaint himself with pages 553 and 554 of practice that outlines a whole list of elements that ministers can't be questioned on. He offended about five of them. The member for Lindsay.
