My question is to the Prime Minister. Is the Prime Minister aware of any other ministers who have breached the ministerial code of conduct?

Anthony Albanese (Grayndler, Australian Labor Party, Prime Minister) Share this | Link to this | Hansard source

It must have been an interesting tactics committee meeting. Can you imagine it? 'I shouldn't ask that question. Maybe you should ask that question.' 'No. Go ahead.' Is there anyone in their tactics committee who doesn't have an issue? That was the question. My government has been transparent. We have a code of conduct. When there have been any issues they have been—

Mr Speaker—

Oh, come on!

I ask the Prime Minister to pause. I call the Leader of the Opposition.

Peter Dutton (Dickson, Liberal Party, Leader of the Opposition) Share this | Link to this | Hansard source

Mr Speaker, the point of order is relevance. The Prime Minister has been asked two tight questions and he cannot give a straight answer.

Milton Dick (Speaker) Share this | Link to this | Hansard source

Has the Prime Minister concluded his answer?

Anthony Albanese (Grayndler, Australian Labor Party, Prime Minister) Share this | Link to this | Hansard source

No.

Milton Dick (Speaker) Share this | Link to this | Hansard source

I call the Prime Minister to return to the question.

Anthony Albanese (Grayndler, Australian Labor Party, Prime Minister) Share this | Link to this | Hansard source

I'm happy to say more.

Peter Dutton (Dickson, Liberal Party, Leader of the Opposition) Share this | Link to this | Hansard source

You cannot give a straight answer. Answer the question

Anthony Albanese (Grayndler, Australian Labor Party, Prime Minister) Share this | Link to this | Hansard source

If you stop, then I'll answer the question. That's the way it works. If you interject, I'll sit down. That's the way it works. For those opposite: what we're already seeing on that side is people being set up.

Garth Hamilton (Groom, Liberal National Party) Share this | Link to this | Hansard source

Answer the question! The Speaker said answer the question.

Milton Dick (Speaker) Share this | Link to this | Hansard source

The member for Groom will cease interjecting.

Anthony Albanese (Grayndler, Australian Labor Party, Prime Minister) Share this | Link to this | Hansard source

My advice to those opposite is when someone hands you a question you don't have to answer it. Do you want me to sit down?

Peter Dutton (Dickson, Liberal Party, Leader of the Opposition) Share this | Link to this | Hansard source

He's committed to answering the question; he should answer it.

Milton Dick (Speaker) Share this | Link to this | Hansard source

I call the Prime Minister to return to the question.

I wonder if he yells that loudly in their tactics meeting. I wonder if he does that. The fact is that the opposition are seeking to make something out of a short-lived oversight because they have nothing else to say—nothing about the cost of living, nothing about the Jobs and Skills Summit, nothing about the energy crisis that we've inherited, nothing about the fact people can't access to child care, nothing about the crisis in aged care.

What they ask about is a minister who—it's not surprising that the minister here, the member for Eden-Monaro, the person who has turned Eden-Monaro into a safe Labor seat, is a target for those opposite. Remember when it was called the bellwether seat? Not anymore. This is a minister of integrity. This is a minister of honesty. This is a minister who's upfront, and I stand by this minister. This minister, what she did—and she has declared that occurred—is that shares were given to her husband. (Time expired)
