I would like to congratulate the member for Melbourne for his wife giving birth to a baby a few minutes ago. My question is to the Prime Minister. In 2009 the member for Wentworth lost the support of the Liberal Party and ultimately the opposition leadership because a Treasury official lied to the Senate. Is it okay, Prime Minister, that an Australian citizen could lose his citizenship because a government official lies or makes a mistake, and the citizen has no way of correcting such a lie of mistake? Does the Prime Minister understand the separation of powers and the Magna Carta and what they are all about?

I think that question offends every standing order in the book, and it is out of order.
