Mrs Bronwyn Bishop (Mackellar, Liberal Party) Share this | Hansard source

I rise on a point of order. Standing order 98(c), which I have referred to previously, says:

(c)

A Minister can only be questioned on the following matters, for which he or she is responsible or officially connected:

(i)

public affairs;

(ii)

administration; or

(iii)

proceedings pending in the House.

It goes on to say that questioners may not ask ministers for an expression of opinion. The question is clearly out of order.
