They still don't get it. It's not about you; it's about the Australian people and whether they have a right to know who the ministers are. It is about the Westminster system of our parliamentary democracy and whether it has been undermined. They just don't get it, but we'll give them the opportunity to have a say on that, and they will be held to account for it.

Together with the NACC, tighter ministerial standards and our embrace of the Jenkins review, we're working hard to restore faith in our institutions and strengthen our democracy. They should never be called conservatives, because conservatives support institutions; those opposite undermine them at every single opportunity. I thank Ms Bell and her team for their excellent work in producing an outstanding report.

On that note, Mr Speaker, I ask that further questions be placed on the Notice Paper.
