House debates Questions without Notice
Deputy Prime Minister
Mr Tony Burke Watson, Australian Labor Party, Shadow Minister for Finance
2:45 pm
My question is to the Prime Minister. Can the Prime Minister confirm that, owing to doubts over his Deputy Prime Minister, the Deputy Prime Minister will be acting in name only while Prime Minister? Is there any precedent for this happening?
Malcolm Turnbull Wentworth, Liberal Party, Prime Minister
The arrangements are the same as they have been for many, many years.
