My question is to the Prime Minister—he's had three weeks to consider his answer. He's now been asked this question numerous times. It's a very simple question. It's not going away. Why isn't Malcolm Turnbull the Prime Minister of Australia?

We dealt with this last week. The Labor Party might want to come in here and carry on like this. Again, there are no questions on drought today. They had one more opportunity to ask a question on drought. They can ask about the economy or they can ask about jobs. And they just want to lay about in the political morass. I'll tell you what this government is doing. The Labor Party can kick up as much dust as they want, but, as Prime Minister, it's my job to see through the dust and see what really matters to the Australian people. And what matters to the Australian people is making the decisions that ensure that we keep our economy strong, keep Australians safe and keep Australians together.
