My question is to the Prime Minister. Why does the Prime Minister find it so hard to just admit that he got it wrong when he blocked the royal commission? Why is he repeating the same mistake with his part-time parliament, which will stop recommendations of the royal commission being implemented before the election?

I thank the member for her question, and I refer her to my answer on this yesterday, but I am very surprised that the member for Herbert would come in here and not ask me about what we're doing to support the people of Townsville during the floods.
