Anthony Albanese (Grayndler, Australian Labor Party, Shadow Minister for Infrastructure and Transport) Share this | Hansard source

Mr Deputy Speaker, I rise on a point of order. The fact is that 30 minutes was allocated for the entire portfolio of Foreign Affairs and Trade, and Tourism. All we have had is one question from the representative of the shadow minister for foreign affairs to the minister. The minister responded, but we have had nothing about trade, nothing about tourism, nothing about any other issues before this House. That is entirely inappropriate. At the least we should be allowed to have the shadow minister for trade and me, as the shadow minister for tourism, put on the record the questions we would like answered and, if need be, the government can take them on notice and come back to us.
