It is urgent that standing orders be suspended, because nothing could be more important than the Australian people and the Australian parliament understanding whether the ministers in this government are capable of giving a straight answer to a straight question. Nothing is more urgent for this parliament than to consider this vital matter. Last Friday, the Treasurer was asked a very straight question on national radio. He knew that Western Australia was going to increase its royalties. They gave you a lot of advance warning.
