My question is to the Prime Minister. A message is being sent from the Senate to this House, calling for a disability royal commission. Is it still the government's position to oppose and vote against a disability royal commission?

Scott Morrison Cook, Liberal Party, Prime Minister

As the Leader of the Opposition would know, it is a decision of the executive government to commission a royal commission. If the government seeks to do that, then the government will do that.
