My question is to the Prime Minister. On ABC radio this morning Malcolm Turnbull warned that giving in to the threats of the member for Hughes to go to the crossbench would be the worst and weakest option, saying:

Giving in to threats of this kind is really, I mean it is the antithesis of good government, giving into threats of that kind.

Why does this Prime Minister always choose the worst and the weakest option, including on government policy?
