My question is to the Prime Minister. At exactly this time last year, the Prime Minister stood at the dispatch box and expressed full confidence in ministers Briggs and Brough, and in the member for Fadden. One year on, in the last week of this parliament for this year, will the Prime Minister express the same full confidence in the Attorney-General?

Malcolm Turnbull

Malcolm Turnbull Wentworth, Liberal Party, Prime Minister

Of course I do.

The Leader of the House and the Treasurer. The member for Lingiari. The Leader of the House, I presume, more than most, wants the member for Groom to ask his question.
