My question is to the Prime Minister. I refer to his earlier answers where he has defended his industry minister's describing One Nation as 'more sophisticated'. Given it is now reported that One Nation—which the WA Liberal Party is preferencing above the Nationals—has advocated killing Indonesian journalists and made hate-filled, derogatory attacks on gay people, Muslims and Indigenous Australians, does the Prime Minister stand by his earlier answers? How long can the Turnbull government continue to pretend that One Nation is just like any other party?
