To the Leader of the Opposition, if he wants to answer his own question about motions of confidence I suggest he has a look in this book. I know that he managed to serve as Leader of the House for years without opening it, but it is called House of Representatives Practice, and he will find the answer.

On the question of when the election will be, the election will be on 14 September. Let me say very clearly to the Leader of the Opposition, it will be a contest counterintuitive to those believing in gender stereotypes but a contest between a strong, feisty woman and a policy weak man and I will win it.
