My question is to the Prime Minister and refers to the Treasurer’s last answer on the proposed sale of Qantas. Would the Prime Minister explain to the House how the Treasurer’s statement just now that he would not be making a decision on this matter until he received advice from the Foreign Investment Review Board is consistent with the Prime Minister’s statement, reported in today’s Financial Review, that he backs the bid?

That is what the headline said. I did not say that.
