My question is to the Prime Minister. Today, the Senate has delivered a humiliating defeat to the government on the backpacker tax. Will the Prime Minister now accept the sensible compromise offered by the Senate, or will the Prime Minister instead confirm that, because of his government's actions and budget incompetence, Australia will have an internationally uncompetitive 32½ per cent backpacker tax from the beginning of next year if the Prime Minister cannot compromise?
