My question is to the Prime Minister. Has the government reached any agreements with One Nation within the last 48 hours?

I thank the honourable member for his question and understand his curiosity, but we never discuss negotiations with the crossbench. We don't. We have found that the most important thing to do when negotiating with other members of parliament is to treat them with respect, and that's what we do.

If the member for McEwen could just not miss the moment. Everyone else has stopped. We're trying to proceed.
