I raise a point of order, Madam Speaker. This question was originally set down to the Prime Minister. Although National members appreciate that the Government can transfer questions, the reality in this case is that it deals very directly with a statement made by the Prime Minister. It is very difficult for any other Minister to say whether the Prime Minister stands by her statements. We realise there is a degree of sensitivity from the Government around the issue of copyright in artworks, but, notwithstanding that, we seek leave for this question to be held over until such time as the Prime Minister may be able to answer it.
