My question is to the Prime Minister: I refer the Prime Minister to her recent statement that she cannot recall receiving $5,000 in cash from Bruce Wilson. As the Prime Minister said, she made inquiries of the Commonwealth Bank with respect to this alleged deposit. Has she also made inquiries since this revelation to determine if the tax office has records of the payment or if she made declarations to her partners at Slater & Gordon, given her solicitor-client relationship with both Mr Wilson and the AWU?

This has now become truly embarrassing. Here we are. The Deputy Leader of the Opposition was out there with this huge conspiracy theory yesterday, with these big allegations against me. She was out there making false claims, then forgetting that she had made the false claims, then denying the false claims, and then not telling the truth about the nature and number of her conversations with Mr Blewitt. Then, today, so much of an embarrassment is she that she cannot go to the Leader of the Opposition's book launch.

The Prime Minister will return to the question.

So much of an embarrassment is she that she is the one who has to ask these questions while the strategy is now being done over there without her. To the Deputy Leader of the Opposition I say in all sincerity: please, stop embarrassing yourself. It is just getting too painful to watch.
