My question is to the Prime Minister. Can the Prime Minister confirm that Minister Cash misled the Senate on five separate occasions, hid behind a whiteboard at her last appearance at Senate estimates and, despite being in the building right now, hasn't even bothered showing up at Senate estimates? Prime Minister, if Minister Cash can't do her job, why does she still have one?

If the Leader of the Opposition can't prove that he had authority to pay $100,000 of his members' money to GetUp!, why should we believe he did?
