Hansard session: Fifty-Eighth Parliament, First Session (58-1)

Road Tolls

Mr MARK COURE (Oatley) (11:49:02):

My question is directed to the Minister for Multiculturalism. Will he guarantee that multicultural communities in south-western Sydney will not face the removal of the M5 toll cashback?

The SPEAKER:

Members will come to order. The Minister will be heard in silence. The member for Camden will come to order.

Mr STEPHEN KAMPER (RockdaleMinister for Small Business, Minister for Lands and Property, Minister for Multiculturalism, and Minister for Sport) (11:50:02):

— It is quite a strange question. I think the member for Oatley has directed it to the wrong Minister.

The SPEAKER:

I call the member for Wahroonga to order for the first time. The member for Wahroonga will come to order.

Mr STEPHEN KAMPER:

We have made our commitments in relation to tolls and we will fulfill them in due course. But I think the member should have directed the question to the appropriate Minister in the first instance. It is a really stupid question from the member for Oatley. I thought I would be getting something on Active Kids because he was running around with a petition about that. Both his leader and his mate from Wahroonga forgot to tell the member for Oatley that they were not funding it.

The SPEAKER:

The member for Wahroonga will come to order.

Mr STEPHEN KAMPER:

We might as well go off the subject because this guy asked the question of the wrong Minister. I just reinforce that he has asked a really, really stupid question.

The SPEAKER:

I call the member for Wahroonga to order for the second time.

Mr Mark Coure:

Point of order: My point of order relates to Standing Order 129, relevance. The question was to do with the M5 toll cashback, not the Government's cuts to the Active Kids rebate.

The SPEAKER:

Members will come to order while I ascertain whether the Minister has finalised his answer. The Minister has concluded his answer. Therefore, there is no point of order. I call the member for Terrigal to order for the second time. Members will come to order. The member for Canterbury will come to order.
