My question is to the Prime Minister. Are the Prime Minister's declarations in the Register of Members' Interests accurate?
Unidentified interjection - Hansard doesn't record who said this
Government Members:
Government members interjecting—
Terri Butler Griffith, Australian Labor Party
A member has used unparliamentary language and he should withdraw.
Tony Smith Speaker
It will not surprise the member for Griffith that with the level of interjections I could not hear the Minister for Justice, but if he made an unparliamentary remark I would like him to assist the House and withdraw.
Michael Keenan Stirling, Liberal Party, Minister for Justice
I withdraw, Mr Speaker.
Chris Bowen McMahon, Australian Labor Party, Shadow Treasurer
Following the unparliamentary remark of the Minister for Justice, the Minister for Cities and the Built Environment and the member for Mitchell also made unparliamentary remarks.
Tony Smith Speaker
Again, if the Minister for Cities and the Built Environment made an unparliamentary remark I would ask him to assist the House and withdraw.
Jamie Briggs Mayo, Liberal Party, Minister for Cities and the Built Environment
I withdraw.
Alex Hawke Mitchell, Liberal Party, Assistant Minister to the Treasurer
I am very happy to assist the shadow Treasurer and withdraw the remark.
Malcolm Turnbull Wentworth, Liberal Party, Prime Minister

I thank the honourable member for his question. I can assure him that I, like all other members, and indeed senators in the other place, take care to ensure that their declarations of interests in the Register of Members' Interests are accurate and up to date. But if the honourable member feels that there is an omission or an error I would be delighted if he draws it to my attention. I will certainly check it out and if there is one it will be corrected.
