Mr Speaker, I seek the indulgence of the chair to add to an answer.

The minister may proceed.

I was earlier asked by the member for Kingsford Smith whether the government would release a submission by the Nuclear Fuel Leasing Group to the uranium mining processing and nuclear energy review. I advise the House that the Nuclear Fuel Leasing Group provided a public submission to the review and this submission is available on the website of the Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet.

So why didn’t you know that?

The member for Oxley is warned!

I table that submission. A second submission including commercial-in-confidence information was also provided to the review on the basis that the submission would not be made public.

Consistent with longstanding government practice, this request has been respected. I also table a list of submissions received from organisations to the review.

Mr Speaker, I will table documents, but I thought there might be a personal explanation from the Leader of the Opposition beforehand. I am waiting, Mr Speaker. I am still waiting, Mr Speaker, and, I tell you, he is going through the motions of writing—but we know what he is thinking. He is thinking, ‘This is a bad day.’

Order! The Leader of the House will resume his seat. When the Leader of the House is called to help proceedings, he will not engage in debate. I call the Leader of the House.

I am justly rebuked!

Anthony Albanese (Grayndler, Australian Labor Party, Manager of Opposition Business in the House) Share this | Link to this | Hansard source

Mr Speaker, I rise on a point of order. A number of members on this side of the House have been excluded from the House today, and many were warned. None of them have behaved as badly as the Leader of the House did just then in terms of unparliamentary—

The Manager of Opposition Business will resume his seat. I say to the Manager of Opposition Business that he will not reflect on the chair. Furthermore, I say to the Manager of Opposition Business that he is developing a habit of reflecting on the chair both in the chamber and outside of the chamber. If he continues to do it, I will take firm action.
