My question is to the Prime Minister. Before the election the Prime Minister promised an adult government that would follow due process with a 10-day cabinet rule. Why has the government repeatedly changed its position, thrown out due process and used a crisis meeting on Sunday last night to determine education policy, the exact opposite of what the Prime Minister promised before the election?

The Leader of the Opposition has simply got his facts wrong.
