Parliament House End of Year Functions

Mr MALINAUSKAS (Croydon—Leader of the Opposition) (14:31): My question is to the Minister for Police. Did the Minister for Police in his capacity as the former Speaker receive any formal complaints from any staff regarding some of the allegations around the Liberal Party Christmas party?

The SPEAKER: Just before that is progressed, I think I understand the question correctly. It is directed to the Minister for Police, Emergency Services and Correctional Services in his former capacity.

Mr MALINAUSKAS: Yes.

The SPEAKER: In that case, I just intervene at that point—

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Order, members on my right and members on my left! The question is out of order pursuant to standing order 96.
