My question is to the Prime Minister. I refer the Prime Minister to the response by the Minister for Immigration and Citizenship yesterday when he said that he had updated the productivity committee of cabinet on the progress of the Roy Hill enterprise migration agreement on numerous occasions since early 2012. How many times has the productivity committee of cabinet met since the beginning of this year, and how many of these meetings did the Prime Minister attend?

The Deputy Leader of the Opposition knows cabinet is confidential. The Deputy Leader of the Opposition has also misquoted the minister for immigration from yesterday. I refer her to his actual answer, which is very different from what she just said to the parliament—another mislead by the opposition. This is all they do in question time—part of the relentless the campaign we see everywhere.

Madam Deputy Speaker, on a point of order: I asked how many times the productivity committee met and—

The Deputy Leader of the Opposition will resume her seat.

and how many times—

The Deputy Leader of the Opposition will resume her seat. The Prime Minister has the call.

As I have said, cabinet meetings and cabinet subcommittees are confidential. But I believe it is offensive indeed for the Deputy Leader of the Opposition to come into this place and misrepresent the minister for immigration's answers from yesterday. If she is incapable of reading Hansard, one wonders what she is doing here.

The member for Cook, there is no opportunity for a point of order at this stage.

Madam Deputy Speaker, I seek leave to table the Hansard from yesterday.

Ms Anna Burke (Chisholm, Deputy-Speaker) | Link to this | Hansard source

The member for Cook will resume his seat. You are seeking leave to table; you have sought your leave; you will resume your seat. Is leave granted to table it?

Leave not granted.

The member for Banks might even up the score very quickly.
