My question is to the Prime Minister. Does the Prime Minister still retain confidence in the Deputy Prime Minister and, when the Prime Minister is overseas next week, will the Deputy Prime Minister be the Acting Prime Minister of Australia?

Thank you for asking me that question. You asked me earlier in the week, and the answer is the same as it was earlier in the week.

Members on my left will cease interjecting or they'll be watching from their office. The Leader of the Opposition will cease interjecting too.
