My question is to the Prime Minister. In the Senate last night, Senator Fierravanti-Wells said a national anticorruption commission is 'overdue' and questioned why the government is resisting an 'effective' commission. With a majority of the House and now a senior Liberal senator demanding the Prime Minister act, will the Prime Minister introduce an anticorruption bill today so that parliament can get on with having the integrity debate the nation so clearly wants us to have?

I've tabled the draft legislation. That is the product of the design work that has been done on a proper Commonwealth integrity commission. A proper Commonwealth integrity commission is not supported by the Labor Party.

The member for Corangamite is warned.

It's not supported by the Labor Party, and that is what is preventing this matter from proceeding.

You're a fraud!

The member for Isaacs will come to the dispatch box and withdraw that unparliamentary remark.
