I certainly can, Mr Speaker. My question is to the Prime Minister. Why does the Prime Minister claim not to have supported Clive Palmer's High Court case to tear down state borders when we know he spent $1 million doing just that?

We pulled the case. We didn't pursue the case. We didn't support it, and I didn't support it, based on the strong representation made to me by Premier McGowan, and I agreed with him.
