Thank you, Mr Speaker. My question is to the Prime Minister. Today the Minister representing the Prime Minister told the Senate that the Cabinet Office Policy Committee is made up of just one permanent member: the Prime Minister. Can the Prime Minister advise, in relation to this one-man cabinet committee, do the committee's discussions take long? Is there a lot of disagreement in this committee, and are the meetings of this committee held in the Prime Minister's head? Isn't this just an abuse of the cabinet designed to hide government documents?

I can confirm that the government's committee of cabinet regularly has attending its meetings myself, the Attorney-General, the Deputy Prime Minister and the Treasurer.

Yes, I seek leave to table the document from directory.gov.au on the Cabinet Office Policy Committee.

Leave not granted.
