My question is to the Prime Minister. Prime Minister, do you think there is anything unusual about the Labor Party accepting $170,000 in donations, 16 trips for himself, members of his parliamentary party and staff—

Mr Speaker, I rise on a point of order. Under standing orders, questions cannot ask for an opinion. The shadow minister obviously began his question asking for an opinion.

The structure of the first part of the question is out of order but I will listen to the rest of the question. The member should understand that the wording as it stands is out of order.

Can the Prime Minister explain whether there is anything unusual about the Labor Party accepting $170,000 in donations, 16 trips for himself, members of his parliamentary party and staff from a Chinese company whose principal place of business in Australia is a Sydney suburban home in Warriewood?

The key consideration here is whether all supported travel has been declared. It has been. The key consideration here is whether all political donations have been properly registered with the relevant political party. My understanding is that they have been with the Labor Party. As I understand it, they have been with the National Party—at least I hope so.
