My question is to the Prime Minister. Why is the Prime Minister stubbornly refusing to schedule extra sitting days of the parliament? Doesn't this just show that this Prime Minister will always side with the top end of town?

The member for Longman might want to listen to the advice of the Law Council of Australia. The member for Longman might want to support the legislation that is currently before the parliament to implement the Hayne royal commission findings. The member for Longman may want to acquaint herself with the work that we're doing in relation to financial counselling and setting up a farm debt mediation scheme. The member for Longman might want to know about the APRA capability review that we have announced under the leadership of Graeme Samuel. The member for Longman might want to have a word to the member for McMahon and the member for Hotham and tell them to get their skates on and come up with a response to the royal commission report, which they've had for more than a week. The member for Longman might be more interested in serving her constituents with a real response to the royal commission rather than the political stunts that we have seen from those opposite. The member for Longman might want to apologise to the 4,356 constituents in her electorate who the member for McMahon said don't vote for Labor, because they don't want a retirees tax. The member for Longman might want to know the facts before she gets up in this place and makes it very clear that she's not interested in real outcomes for real Australians.
