My question is to the Prime Minister. Did the Prime Minister ask the Minister for Energy and Emissions Reduction about his role on the New South Wales Liberal Party finance committee before he appointed him to the ministry? Did the minister tell the Prime Minister about the washing of donations through the Free Enterprise Foundation, or did he fail to disclose those too?

That question is out of order.

It's deliberately out of order!

The Deputy Prime Minister's had enough to say today. I'm just going to ask the member for Isaacs to reflect on my earlier comments. I was ready to sit him down halfway through the question. Given what I had said earlier, I was working on the assumption that the member for Isaacs would at least have a relevant word in the question. I'll ask him to reflect on it, and if he reflects in the wrong way, he'll see the response. The member for Stirling has the call.
