House debates Questions without Notice
Turnbull Government

My question is to the Prime Minister. Today is two years to the day since the current Prime Minister deposed the former Prime Minister, the member for Warringah. Is the Prime Minister aware it is reported today that the former Prime Minister has been lobbying government MPs in a bid to dump funding for renewables? Why, two years on, is the former Prime Minister still calling the shots on government policy? Prime Minister, what was the point of replacing the member for Warringah?

Tony Smith Speaker
The members on my left will cease interjecting. The Leader of the House will resume his seat. The member for Greenway and others will cease interjecting. I have listened carefully to the question and, as it's framed, I don't believe it's in order. We will go to the next question.
