My question is to the Prime Minister. Does the Prime Minister agree with the member for Lindsay, who believes the Treasurer has no ideas about the issues affecting voters in Western Sydney? Will that advice from one of his favourite backbenchers influence his decision as to when he will retire, or was she just skating on thin ice?

Order! In calling the Prime Minister, the first part of that question was asking for an opinion.

The first thing is that the current member for Lindsay is the best member that electorate has ever had, and the current Treasurer is the best Treasurer Australia has ever had. On that note, I ask that further questions be placed on the Notice Paper.
