My question is to the Prime Minister. I refer to reports that the Prime Minister has dumped Malcolm Turnbull as his envoy because he didn't help the government. Can the Prime Minister please explain to the House how Malcolm Turnbull has been unhelpful to the government but the government's other envoys, the member for New England and the member for Warringah, have been good for government unity?

The reports are false. I would encourage the opposition to spend a bit more time focusing on questions about the economy, about drought and about electricity prices and get their heads out of the Canberra bubble.
