The Prime Minister will resume his seat.

Mr Burke interjecting—

The Manager of Opposition Business will resume his seat.

Government members interjecting—

Members on my right! I say to the Prime Minister that he shouldn't refer in that way to the Leader of the Opposition, because he didn't ask the question. The question was asked by the Manager of Opposition Business. I do think that up until that point the Prime Minister was in order, given the nature of the question. I will call the Prime Minister and listen.
