Oh good. Sussan Ley has the second question.

It is the same question as the one before.

“When was the Prime Minister first informed of the planned mass casualty terror attack against Sydney’s Jewish community?’

Anthony Albanese:

I refer to my previous answer. I note the characterisation of the Deputy Leader of the Opposition. I am happy to provide a brief through the security agencies if requested by the Deputy Leader of the Opposition…If the Leader of the Opposition hasn’t got one but we are happy to provide that and then the shadow minister might be better informed.

The priority here is not the playing of political games, the priority…

Michael Sukkar, as manager of opposition business has a point of order:

“The Prime Minister is avoiding answering the question. If he doesn’t want to be relevant to the question, he can sit down.”

Milton Dick is using his most patient voice here when he says:

“We are just going it deal with this issue of relevance quickly. The Prime Minister, if I think anyone was listening, would understand – I know the Deputy would like a date, a time. I want to bring her to the page of practice of 567 about the interpretation of relevance, which has been by all speakers very wide. This was a short question. It was a specific question but the standing orders provides the Prime Minister to speak on the policy topic, if he was to start talking about, for example, climate change, or another topic, I would bring him back to order but when he is giving specific information advice and I know it is not the answer that you want but I do not have the powers under the standing order to direct the Prime Minister to give you the answer you wish.”

Peter Dutton is not happy with Dick’s ruling and wants to know if the prime minister can speak about other issues, that are related, but not directly related to the question the Coalition wants answered.

Dick again uses his very patient voice to say as long as the PM is remaining “directly relevant to the topic” he is in order.

Anthony Albanese stands up, and Dutton seems to sledge him, which is not picked up by the microphones, but Albanese says:

“He is only happy when he’s angry”.

Chris Bowen pops up: “Give us a smile, Pete. Give us a smile” and is warned by the speaker.
