Thank you, Mr Speaker. My question is to the Prime Minister and it relates to his embassy announcement. Can he confirm there was no cabinet coordination process, the Foreign Minister wasn't told until 48 hours before, the acting Chief of the ADF found out about it after the media, and confidential messages with Indonesia and ASIO briefings were leaked? If this is what we get from the muppet show during a by-election, what sort of chaotic, divided and unstable performance is this government planning for the general election?
