Questions without Notice: Budget: Cost of Living (1 Jul 2026)

“It goes to relevance. This wasn't about alternatives; this was about cost of living and what's happening to inflation. It's got nothing to do with what he's quoting, and you've said it before, Speaker. The Prime Minister can't randomly quote things; he's got to remain relevant to the question.”

Questions without Notice: Housing (1 Jul 2026)

“On relevance, I refer to a statement by Speaker Smith on 2 December 2020. He said: In doing that, he needs to address the question that was asked, not just deal with material that is on the policy topic but not having dealt with the question itself. The Prime Minister has not dealt with the question about a guarantee on falling house prices.”
