Honours and Awards
Bill Shorten Maribyrnong, Australian Labor Party, Leader of the Opposition

My question is to the Prime Minister. Why is the government's priority a plan to bring back knights and dames, but there is no plan for Alcoa workers, for car workers, or for Qantas workers? Prime Minister, why are your Liberal government's twisted priorities so out of touch with the needs of ordinary Australians?
Mrs Bronwyn Bishop Speaker
Before I call the Prime Minister I simply want to note that there was silence on my left, as there should be, for the asking of the question. I expect the same silence for the answer. The Prime Minister has the call.
