This question is to the Prime Minister. I refer the Prime Minister to her government's embarrassing record—its failure to put pink batts in roofs without starting fires; its failure to build school halls without rip-off after rip-off; its panicked handling of the live cattle exports; its managing of the biggest budget deficit in our history, its failure to protect Australia's borders and the introduction of the world's only economy-wide carbon tax, which it promised would never happen. I ask: given the Prime Minister's failure to act on Saturday to prevent 48 hours of avoidable chaos, how can she expect the Australian people to have any faith whatsoever in this divided and directionless government?
