Mr Speaker, my question is to the Prime Minister. I refer the Prime Minister to her answer yesterday where she agreed with the Minister for Human Services that the use of the union funds of some of the poorest paid workers for sexual services was inappropriate. Is this the Prime Minister's belief in all cases?

I suggest to the Deputy Leader of the Opposition that if she is going to quote the Minister for Human Services, she do it accurately and in its entirety. My attitude today is exactly the same as the attitude I expressed yesterday.
