The Manager of Opposition Business can resume his seat. I'm going to refer members to my earlier rulings and to a very similar question. It offends another part of my earlier ruling—and it's a regret that it's the member for Isaacs again, I have to say—that is, that the majority of the question was out of order. I've made that point very clear. The Prime Minister is not responsible for the comments of other members who aren't ministers. And, as I've said, I'm not simply going to allow a tagline just with a reference to open it up to any sort of question and any sort of dialogue that is out of order. The majority of that question is out of order, and I think anyone drafting it would have known it. I'll hear the Manager of Opposition Business again.
