I have a question to you, Mr Speaker.

Technically, I could leave and say we have gone past the time for questions, but I will take the question.

Under standing order 105(b), regarding questions in writing that are 60 days overdue, I draw your attention to question in writing No. 813, in which I asked the Minister for Families, Housing, Community Services and Indigenous Affairs to provide details on the social housing stimulus program. I ask that you write to her and ask her to give an explanation as to why it has not been answered.

I will take the action required of me. I cannot really chastise the member for Cook for not asking his question before the personal explanations because I chastised him about something else that prevented him from being here at that time. I now know why he had to raise the question with me at this stage. I will take the action that is required of me under the standing orders.
