My question is to the Prime Minister. The Liberal candidate for Wentworth said yesterday that he was appalled at the treatment that was meted out to Malcolm Turnbull. Does the Prime Minister agree that the way that he and his government treated Malcolm Turnbull was 'appalling'? When will the Prime Minister tell the voters in Wentworth why Malcolm Turnbull isn't still the Prime Minister of Australia?

You can make up some more foreign policy.

as we've dealt with this matter before in previous question times. At the Wentworth by-election, the electors of Wentworth will have a choice before them.

How about spinning the chocolate wheel on foreign policy?

the Liberal candidate for Wentworth, the candidate that is standing up for 29,000 small businesses in Wentworth. Over 60,000 taxpayers will be paying less tax as a result of the policies our government has had legislated and taken through this parliament. It is our government, first elected in 2013, our government, re-elected in 2016, that has been delivering the strong economic management that is ensuring that more than a million Australians have got jobs. More than 100,000 young Australians have got jobs in the last 12 months alone. That is the economic record of our government, and all of that—the certainty and the stability that are required to ensure that our economy can remain strong and we can guarantee the essential services Australians rely on—is what Australians in Wentworth can vote for this Saturday. And that would ensure the continued stability of our economy and the strength that Australians rely on for the services that they seek guarantees on.
