My question is to the Prime Minister. When asked on Sky News this week, the Attorney-General couldn't say whether Australians overseas would be able to participate in the $122 million survey on marriage equality. Does the Prime Minister know whether these Australians will, in fact, receive their survey forms?

I am advised by the minister that where Australians are overseas, are on the electoral roll, have registered as an overseas voter and provided their overseas address, then their request for a response will be sent directly to them.
