My question is to the Prime Minister. I refer to reports on Sky News that the Prime Minister has been ringing National Party members to gauge support for the Deputy Prime Minister. Does the Prime Minister still retain confidence in his Deputy Prime Minister?

I'm touched by the Leader of the Opposition's devotion to Sky News—that must be a new one. The answer to the question at the end of his question is yes.
