My question is to the Prime Minister and I remind her that her foreign minister, Senator Carr, failed to support the government's proposed media regulation in Washington today. And her Chief Whip has openly criticised her handling of the issue, only today, in the caucus. If the Prime Minister fails to convince the parliament to pass these laws this week, will she commit to take them to the election and let the voters decide if they want the most onerous regulation of the press in our peacetime history?
