Mr Speaker, that question contains 'arguments, inferences, imputations'—it does not have any insults, that is true; therefore, it offends standing order 100 that relates to questions. It is impossible for the Prime Minister to answer it and it does not relate to his responsibilities. The premise of the question is disputed by the Minister for Defence, who said no such thing about the current Prime Minister and, therefore, I would ask you to rule it out of order.

Mr Fitzgibbon interjecting
