My question is to the Prime Minister. Yesterday the Special Minister of State said adding more politicians to the parliament is, 'what great Labor leaders do'. At a time of crisis, will the Prime Minister rule out putting upward pressure on inflation by choosing to spend more than $600 million on more politicians?
