If those opposite want me to shut it down in an hour, I will take that on board. But what I have done is take, on average, questions every single day I'm here. Every single day all my ministers are here. We are actually the most accountable parliament in the world. If I speak about parliaments in the G20, President Prabowo has not answered a question and Prime Minister Modi has not answered a question. In the United Kingdom, with the Westminster system upon which we're based, there's Prime Minister's question time for one hour once a week, and the questions are on notice. There is no parliament in the world in which a government is more accountable than this government—Australian governments of both persuasions. That is just a fact across the board. One of the things that we do is make sure, as well, that we've ensured that standing orders have been amended so that the crossbenchers get a fair crack. That's something that we have done. This question is an example of that.
