My question is to the Prime Minister. Is the Prime Minister aware of media reports that, during a briefing on his energy policy, the Prime Minister said to the member for Warringah, 'Please do me the courtesy of allowing me to finish my sentence'? The member for Warringah replied, 'I would have if you allowed me the courtesy of finishing my term.' Was the Prime Minister again speaking merchant banker gobbledygook?

The member for Wakefield will resume his seat. That question is out of order. We'll go to the next question.
