My question is to the Deputy Prime Minister. I refer to the Deputy Prime Minister's previous answers this week about his capacity to work with women in regional Australia. Two state National Party leaders, a party trustee, a former chair of the party's Women's Council, the founder of Australian Women in Agriculture and multiple National MPs, all regional women, say he can't be trusted to work with women. Can he confirm that he is replacing his predecessor on the cabinet task force for the status of women? And why do so many women in regional Australia who know him say he's not fit for the job?
