My question is to the Prime Minister. Prime Minister, Australians are facing a cost-of-living crisis. The government has wasted $450 million on the Prime Minister's Voice referendum and $250 million on monitoring hardcore criminals that did not need to be released. So will the Prime Minister rule out wasting more taxpayers' money on creating up to 53 new federal politicians and 200 or more staff who would come with them?
