No, you won't repeat the question. The Leader of the Opposition. I've just got to say sometimes I'm in two minds about these, but, on this, no way. That question had a statement, and the question—this is question time—was: why is the government about the photo op, not the follow-up? That was the question.

Mr Albanese interjecting—

They actually do tape this. I don't think it is a big deal, Leader of the Opposition. So the question really is wide open, just because it has a statement attached to it at the start. The member had the opportunity to ask a specific question about the program she spoke about, but she didn't do that, and the Deputy Prime Minister's completely in order.

An honourable member: No way!

I didn't ask you!
